Morphology

squeezy = squeeze (opaque) = squeeze + y

The 'very easy' sense arises from idiomatic/rhyming usage (e.g., 'easy-peasy lemon squeezy') rather than a straightforward derivation from 'squeeze', so the meaning is not inferable from the base verb.

Etymology

Squeezy comes from squeeze plus the ending -y, and it is used informally to mean 'easy' because something you can press out is simple to do. A helpful way to remember this is the playful phrase 'easy peasy lemon squeezy'.
