From jet (“(obsolete) protruding part, projection”, noun) or jet (“to jut, project, protrude”, verb) + -y (suffix forming adjectives with the sense ‘having the quality of’).

From jet (“hard, black form of coal; colour of jet coal”, noun) + -y (suffix forming adjectives with the sense ‘having the quality of’).

The noun is derived from Late Middle English gete, jette, jetti (“projecting upper storey of a building, overhang; breakwater, pier, jetty”), from Anglo-Norman geté, getee, getté, and Middle French geté, getee, jeté (“projecting upper storey of a building; breakwater, pier”) (modern French jetée), a noun use of the past participle of geter, jeter, from Old French geter, jeter (“to throw”) from Late Latin iectāre, the present active infinitive of iectō (“to throw”), probably from Latin iactō (“to cast, hurl, throw”), from iaciō (“to cast, hurl, throw”) (ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *(H)yeh1- (“to throw”)) + -tō (frequentative suffix). Compare jet (“(obsolete) protruding part”), jutty. The verb is derived from the noun.

From jet (“(obsolete) to strut; to walk with a lofty or haughty gait”, verb) + -y (suffix added for metrical reasons, or forming informal terms).
