Morphology

poopy = poop (semi-transparent) = poop + y

Formally derived from 'poop' + '-y', but the evaluative sense 'bad/disappointing' is a slangy, metaphorical extension rather than a literal meaning.

Etymology

Poopy is the childish form of poop plus -y, so it carries the idea of something 'bad' or 'unpleasant' like poop. That's why people use poopy to say something is disappointing or not as good as expected.
