Morphology

trouty = trout (transparent) = trout + y

Productive adjectival suffix '-y' attaches to the noun 'trout' to mean 'characteristic of or resembling a trout', which is directly inferable.

Etymology

The word trouty comes from the fish trout plus the ending -y, which makes adjectives meaning 'like' or 'full of', as in fishy. So, trouty means 'like a trout' in color, smell, or shape.
