Resembling, containing, or characterized by gadgets; full of small mechanical devices or innovations.
From gadget plus the adjective suffix -y, creating an informal descriptive term. The -y suffix turns nouns into adjectives meaning 'having the quality of' or 'full of'.
English loves this -y transformation—we say 'buggy,' 'cloudy,' 'gadgety'—it's a super productive suffix that lets speakers quickly create informal adjectives, which is why 'gadgety' feels modern and conversational rather than formal.
