Morphology

wifey = wife (semi-transparent) = wife + y

While 'wifey' is derived from 'wife', the meaning has shifted to describe certain stereotypical behaviors, not just the state of being a wife.

Etymology

The adjective wifey comes from wife plus the ending -y, which turns a noun into a style or quality. So if someone is called 'wifey' as an adjective, it means they are behaving like a caring, responsible partner, doing home tasks and looking after the household.
