Morphology

branchy = branch (transparent) = branch + y

The adjective is directly formed from the noun 'branch' with the productive suffix '-y' meaning 'having or full of'.

Etymology

Branchy comes from the common word branch, meaning 'a tree limb', plus the ending -y, meaning 'full of', so it describes something that is 'full of branches'.
