Jam: the thick, sweet, dark fruit spread that sticks to whatever it touches. Jammy is jam turned into a describing word — jam on it, jam in it, or simply like it. Jam is also the sweet extra on the bread, the part you enjoy rather than the part you work for, and that is one handy way to hold on to the British use of jammy for someone who got something good without earning it.
From the word’s history
Wiktionary derives jammy straightforwardly from jam plus the adjective ending -y, the same shape as sunny and salty.
來源資料把 jammy 直接拆成 jam 加形容詞字尾 -y,跟 sunny、salty 是同一種造法。要注意 m 會雙寫。
