Morphology
Spidey = Spider-Man (transparent) = spider + y
A familiar nickname formed by clipping 'Spider-Man' (or 'spider') and adding the diminutive '-y', so learners who know Spider-Man will readily recognise the reference.
Etymology
Spidey is a friendly short form of Spider-Man, made by shortening the name and adding the ending -y. That -y ending gives a 'cute' or 'familiar' sound, so Spidey is used as an informal nickname by fans and kids.
