Morphology

smoothy = smooth (transparent) = smooth + y

Formed by adding the colloquial noun-forming suffix 'y' to 'smooth', so its meaning 'a person who is smooth (suave)' is directly inferable from the base.

Etymology

Smoothy comes from smooth, which means 'even' or 'not rough', and so it was used for people who act 'easy' and confident. So, a smoothy is a person whose speech and ways feel 'smooth' — charming and often trying to impress others, like a 'smooth talker'.
