Morphology

ochry = ochre (transparent) = ochre + y

Productive adjective formation from the noun 'ochre' with '-y', meaning 'having the color of ochre', which is directly inferable.

Etymology

Ochry comes from an old Greek word ōkhra, which meant 'pale yellow', and is like the English word ochre, the natural earth pigment. So ochry describes a yellowish color, like the warm color of old paintings or sunlit stone.
