Surface Forms

slumpy positive

Morphology

slumpy = slump (transparent) = slump + y

Derived by adding '-y' to 'slump' to mean having the qualities of a slump (droopy or dejected); the formation and meaning are directly inferable from the base.

Etymology

Slumpy comes from slump meaning 'to sit or fall down heavily' plus the ending -y meaning 'in a state of'. So if someone looks slumpy they seem droopy or tired, as if they have 'slumped' over.
