Morphology

trendy = trend (transparent) = trend + y

The adjective is a predictable adjective-forming derivation from the noun 'trend' using the productive suffix '-y' meaning 'characterized by; full of'.

Etymology

The word trendy comes from the noun trend, which once meant a 'turn' or 'direction', and the ending -y means 'full of'. So something trendy follows the current 'turn' in style and is therefore very fashionable and up to date.
