Morphology
soggy = sog (opaque) = sog + y
'Sog' is not a standalone or familiar English word, so the derivation is opaque to learners.
Etymology
The word soggy comes from the idea of being soaked: think of soak, which means 'to make very wet', and picture soft, wet ground that is unpleasant to walk on.
