Morphology

skyey = sky (semi-transparent) = sky + ey

The suffix '-ey' is not a standard English derivational suffix, making the word's formation less transparent.

Etymology

Skyey comes from sky 'the space above us' plus the ending -ey, much like the -y in cloudy, which means 'like' or 'full of'. So skyey describes something that looks or feels 'like the sky', especially in color or in being high.
