Morphology

meshy = mesh (transparent) = mesh + y

Formed by the productive adjective-forming suffix '-y' added to the noun 'mesh', yielding an adjective meaning 'having the qualities of mesh'.

Etymology

Meshy comes from the common word mesh, which is like a net or a group of linked parts, plus the ending -y that makes a describing word, so it literally means 'full of small holes' or 'made of many connected parts'.
