Morphology

vomity = vomit (transparent) = vomit + y

Formed directly from the verb 'vomit' with the adjectival suffix '-y', meaning 'feeling nauseous or inclined to vomit'.

Etymology

The word vomity comes from vomit, which comes from the Latin root vom- meaning 'to throw up'. The ending -y means 'full of' or 'showing', just like in sleepy, so vomity means feeling like you might throw up.
