Morphology

slanty = slant (semi-transparent) = slant + y

The idea of bias comes metaphorically from a 'slant' toward one side, so the form is partly but not fully predictable.

Etymology

The word slanty comes from the root slant, meaning 'to lean' or 'slope', and is used for information that 'leans' toward one side, so a slanty article or report shows bias rather than balance.
