Morphology

onesie = one (transparent) = one + sie

The word directly denotes a 'one'-piece garment formed by adding a familiar diminutive/informal suffix ('-sie'), so learners can infer the meaning from 'one'.

Etymology

Onesie comes from one ('single') plus the baby-friendly ending -ie, like in 'doggie' or 'blankie'. So a onesie is a single, one-piece garment for babies or adults who want extra comfort.
