Morphology

torchy = torch (semi-transparent) = torch + y

Derived from 'torch' + '-y' with a figurative extension to passion/desire; the sexual sense is not directly inferable from the literal noun.

Etymology

Torchy also comes from the idea of a warm torch and soft, low light that feels close and private, which is a helpful way to remember why torchy can mean 'sexually exciting' or 'sexy'.
