Surface Forms

sussy positive

Morphology

sussy = sus (semi-transparent) = sus + y

Formed by adding the productive adjectival suffix '-y' to the slang base 'sus'; meaning is predictable if the learner knows the slang base, otherwise it may be unclear.

Etymology

Sussy comes from the slang sus, which is short for suspicious, and the playful ending -y turns it into an adjective. It became popular online, especially in the game Among Us, so to call someone or something sussy is to say it seems 'suspicious'.
