Morphology

slumpy = slump (transparent) = slump + y

Formed by adding the adjectival suffix '-y' to 'slump', meaning characterized by or in a slump; the relation to the base is direct and predictable.

Etymology

Slumpy comes from slump meaning 'to fall or drop suddenly' plus the ending -y meaning 'in a state of'. So a slumpy quarter feels like a time when sales have 'fallen' and business is weak.
