Morphology

outdoorsy = outdoors (transparent) = outdoors + y

The adjective is easily derived from 'outdoors' + the productive adjectival suffix '-y' meaning 'characterized by or fond of the outdoors'.

Etymology

Outdoorsy comes from the simple word outdoor meaning 'out in the open' plus the ending -y that turns a word into an adjective meaning 'full of' or 'like'. So an outdoorsy person is someone who likes being in nature and enjoys outdoor activities such as hiking or camping.
