Morphology

grapy = grape (transparent) = grape + y

The adjective is directly formed from the noun 'grape' with the productive adjectival suffix '-y' meaning 'having the quality of or resembling'.

Etymology

The word grapy comes from grape plus the ending -y, which means 'full of' or 'like'. So grapy simply describes something that smells or tastes 'like' grapes, as you might say of some wines or juices.
