Covered in jam, containing jam, or tasting and looking like jam — thick, sweet and full of fruit.
果醬的
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.
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。

不勞而獲的好運(英式口語)
果醬是麵包上額外的那層甜頭,是別人給的享受,不是自己做出來的。有人什麼都沒做就拿到那層甜頭,就被說 jammy。這是幫助記憶的連結,不是字源上的推論。
