Morphology

swoopy = swoop (transparent) = swoop + y

Formed regularly from the verb 'swoop' + the adjectival suffix '-y', so the meaning 'having swooping curves or motions' is directly inferable.

Etymology

The word swoopy comes from the action word swoop 'to move in a smooth, curving way', plus the ending -y meaning 'having' or 'full of'. So a swoopy shape or movement feels like a bird's graceful dive or a smooth wave, which is why we use it for flowing, rounded curves and movements.
