Morphology

slashy = slash (semi-transparent) = slash + y

The base 'slash' is clear, but the extension to a 'mixed or hybrid style' is not a standard derivation.

Etymology

Slashy comes from the common word slash, which means 'cut' or the '/' mark, plus the ending -y meaning 'full of' or 'characterized by'. So something slashy looks like it has cuts or sharp marks, or it mixes styles in a quick, 'cut-together' way.
