Morphology

plushy = plush (transparent) = plush + y

Adjectival '-y' added to 'plush' yields a sense 'characterized by plush/luxury'; the transfer from material to general luxuriousness is a common, predictable extension.

Etymology

Plushy also comes from plush, the rich soft cloth once used in grand rooms and furniture, so plushy can mean 'luxurious' or 'showing great comfort and wealth'.
