Morphology

sharky = shark (transparent) = shark + y

A literal appearance-based adjective formed from 'shark' + '-y' (resembling a shark), which is directly inferable.

Etymology

Sharky comes from the animal shark plus the ending -y, which means 'like', so it describes something that looks 'shark-like' with sharp, pointed shapes or a fin-like form.
