Morphology

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

Formed from the slang noun 'slash' (fandom usage) + '-y'; the morphological process is regular but the fandom sense is specialized and may be unfamiliar to many learners.

Etymology

Slashy comes from the use of the slash '/' put between two names (for example, Kirk/Spock) to show a romantic pair, plus the ending -y meaning 'full of'. So slashy describes stories or art that focus on those romantic pairings between characters.
