Morphology

smutty = smut (transparent) = smut + y

Formed from the noun 'smut' plus the adjectival suffix '-y', meaning 'full of or characterized by smut', which is directly inferable.

Etymology

The word smutty comes from the old word smut, which meant 'soot' or 'dirt'. So a smutty joke is like 'moral dirt'—it is dirty or obscene.
