Morphology

trainy = train (transparent) = train + y

Clearly formed from the noun 'train' + adjectival '-y' meaning 'having a train', so learners can derive the meaning.

Etymology

Trainy comes from the word train, meaning the long part of a gown or robe, plus the ending -y which means 'having'. So trainy describes something that has a long, trailing part, like a dress that sweeps behind you.
