Morphology

tushie = tush (transparent) = tush + ie

A diminutive/affectionate formation from the informal noun 'tush' using the productive English suffix '-ie', so the meaning is directly derived and childlike.

Etymology

Tushie is a playful, childish form of tush, and it comes from the Yiddish word tuchus, which means 'backside'. So, tushie is an easy, cute word for the 'buttocks'.
