Morphology

slantingly = slanting (transparent) = slant + ing + ly

The adverb is formed from 'slanting' + '-ly'; the sense 'in a biased way' is a common and regular extension of 'slant'.

Etymology

The word slantingly comes from slant, which means 'to tilt' or 'lean' and was used for a view that is 'tilted' to one side, so slantingly also means giving information in a 'biased' or one-sided way.
