Morphology

chillax = chill + relax (semi-transparent) = chill + relax

The exclamation is transparently built from 'chill' and 'relax', but it is an informal coined blend rather than a standard grammatical formation.

Etymology

Chillax is a casual command made by mixing chill ('calm') and relax ('rest'). Saying chillax tells someone to 'calm down' in a friendly, informal way.
