Morphology
outie = (transparent) = out + ie
Clearly derived from 'out' + the diminutive/nominalizing suffix '-ie', indicating something that sticks out from the body. [Postprocessing: moved 'out' from base_words to prefix]
Etymology
Outie comes from the simple word out plus the friendly ending -ie, and it was made as the opposite of innie. So an outie is a belly button that 'sticks out', which makes the word easy to remember.
