Morphology
shreddy = shred (semi-transparent) = shred + y
Formally 'shred' + '-y' is clear, but the musical sense depends on slang knowledge of 'to shred', which is not obvious to all learners.
Etymology
Shreddy in music also comes from shred, which means 'to tear into small pieces' and was used by guitar players for very fast, wild playing. So shreddy music sounds fast and technical, as if the player is 'tearing' through the notes.
