Morphology

pinkish = pink (transparent) = pink + ish

Standard adjectival formation from 'pink' + '-ish' meaning 'somewhat or slightly pink'.

Etymology

The word pinkish comes from pink, the pale red color named after small 'pink' flowers, and the ending -ish, which means 'somewhat' or 'like'. So pinkish means 'a little pink' or 'somewhat pink', just like greenish means 'a little green'.
