Surface Forms

plushy positive

Morphology

plushy = plush (transparent) = plush + y

Direct adjectival formation from 'plush' with '-y' meaning 'having the quality of plush'; the material sense is straightforward for learners.

Etymology

Plushy comes from plush, the name for a very soft cloth that has short 'hair' on its surface, so it feels thick and furry, and this is why plushy means something with a soft, thick, 'luxurious' texture.
