Morphology

swifty = swift (transparent) = swift + y

This is a regular derivation from 'swift' with the suffix -y, yielding a word that means swift-like or done quickly.

Etymology

Swifty comes from the common word swift, which means 'fast', with the ending -y added to make it an adjective. So swifty means something done quickly or in a rapid way.
