Morphology

liquidy = liquid (transparent) = liquid + y

The adjective is directly formed by adding the productive adjectival suffix '-y' to 'liquid', so the meaning is clearly derived.

Etymology

Liquidy comes from the word liquid ('fluid' or 'like water') and the ending -y ('having'). So when something is described as liquidy in sound or movement, it means it flows smoothly and easily, like water.
