Morphology

vomity = vomit (transparent) = vomit + y

Adjective formed from 'vomit' + '-y' to describe smells/tastes/appearances that provoke vomiting; the derivation is regular and inferable.

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 'having', as in greasy, so vomity describes a smell, taste, or look that makes you want to vomit.
