Morphology

rumpy = rump (transparent) = rump + y

Formed by adding the common adjective-forming suffix '-y' to 'rump', yielding 'having or characterized by a rump'.

Etymology

Rumpy comes from the simple English word rump, which means 'back end' or 'butt', plus the ending -y that means 'having' or 'full of'. So rumpy literally means 'having a noticeable rump', which is why we use it for people or animals with a prominent rear.
