Morphology

thicky = thick (transparent) = thick + y

The word 'thicky' is transparently derived from 'thick' with the suffix '-y' indicating a characteristic of being thick.

Etymology

Thicky comes from the common word thick plus the ending -y, which makes words that mean 'full of' something. So thicky simply means 'thick' or 'having a dense, not runny, texture'.
