The adjective is formed regularly from the noun 'mint' with the adjectival suffix '-y', meaning 'having the quality or taste of mint'.

Etymology

The word minty comes from the herb mint, which in older forms was called mentha and simply meant 'mint'. So, minty means 'having the taste or smell of mint', like mint gum or toothpaste.
