Morphology

smoothie = smooth (transparent) = smooth + ie

The drink name directly refers to a 'smooth' texture plus a familiar nominalizing/diminutive '-ie', so learners can infer the meaning.

Etymology

Smoothie comes from the common word smooth, meaning 'even' or 'not rough', plus the friendly ending -ie. So a smoothie is a drink that feels very even and creamy when you drink it.
