Morphology

marshmallowy = marshmallow (transparent) = marsh + mallow + y

The adjective is a direct adjectival formation from the noun 'marshmallow' meaning 'like a marshmallow' (soft, puffy, sweet).

Etymology

Marshmallowy comes from the sweet treat marshmallow, and that name comes from marsh (a 'swamp') and mallow (a 'plant') because people once used the plant's root to make a soft, sweet food. So, something marshmallowy feels soft, puffy, and a little sweet like that treat.
