Morphology

toasty = toast (transparent) = toast + y

Productive adjective formation with the suffix '-y' meaning 'characterized by' or 'having the quality of' toast, so the sense is directly inferable.

Etymology

Toasty comes from toast, the warm bread you make over heat, and the older idea behind it was 'to roast'. So toasty means pleasantly warm and cozy, like sitting by a fire.
