Morphology

hedgy = hedge (transparent) = hedge + y

Formed by the noun 'hedge' + the productive suffix '-y' meaning 'characterized by' or 'full of', so the meaning is directly derived.

Etymology

Hedgy comes from hedge + -y, where hedge means 'a line of bushes' and -y means 'full of'. So a hedgy place is 'full of hedges' or bordered by hedges.
