Morphology
groovy = groove (semi-transparent) = groove + y
Formally 'groove' + '-y' is clear, but the modern slang meaning 'stylish/excellent' is a figurative extension from musical 'in the groove', so a learner may not predict it.
Etymology
Groovy comes from groove, as in the groove on a record and the jazz idea 'in the groove' for playing very well. Imagine a record needle following a smooth path — something groovy feels 'smooth', 'cool', and excellent, which is why we use it for stylish or very good things.
