Morphology

slanty = slant (transparent) = slant + y

This is a straightforward adjective formed from 'slant' plus '-y', meaning having a slant.

Etymology

The word slanty comes from slant, meaning 'to slope' or 'lean', plus the ending -y that makes an adjective, so it describes something not level that leans to one side.
