Morphology

easy = ease (semi-transparent) = ease + y

The sexualized sense ('sexually available') is a metaphorical extension from 'easy to have sex with' and relies on idiomatic/pragmatic use.

Etymology

Easy comes from Old English ēaþe meaning 'not hard', and a helpful way to remember this meaning is to think of 'easy' as 'not hard to win over' or 'quick to accept advances', which is how it came to mean being casual about sex.
