Nice puzzle.

Checking small values gives 
y=√((x^2-1)^2+(x^2-1)^2(x^2-1)) replacing x in the original formula with (x^2-1)^2; and 
y=√((2x-1)^2-1)^2+(2x-1)^2-1)^2√((2x-1)^2-1)^2+(2x-1)^2-1)^2√(2x-1)^2-1)^2))  replacing x in the original formula with ((2x-1)^2-1)^2

for x=1,2,3,..., 

Presumably the format can be extended to more complex radicals.

Now corrected.
