Morphology

purply = purple (transparent) = purple + y

Meaning is directly derived from 'purple' with the productive adjectival suffix '-y' indicating 'having a tint of'.

Etymology

Purply comes from purple, the colour name, and the ending -y which means 'having' or 'full of'. So purply means 'having a shade or tint of purple'.
