Morphology

pooty = poot (opaque) = poot + y

Although it may use the playful -y pattern, the affectionate nickname sense is not reliably predictable from poot + -y.

Etymology

A helpful way to remember pooty as a pet name is to see it as poot, a small cute sound, plus the ending -y like in cutie or sweetie that makes names 'loving'. So calling someone pooty is a warm, affectionate nickname.
