Morphology

blueish = blue (transparent) = blue + ish

Meaning 'somewhat blue' is a direct, productive use of 'blue' + the adjectival suffix '-ish'.

Etymology

The word blueish comes from the color blue plus the ending -ish, which means 'somewhat' or 'like'. Think of greenish or reddish; blueish simply means 'a little blue' or 'having a small shade of blue'.
