Morphology

sleekit = sleek (transparent) = sleek + it

The adjective is directly formed from 'sleek' with the adjectival suffix '-it', so the meaning 'smooth, glossy, well-groomed' is directly derived from the base.

Etymology

Sleekit comes from the Scottish word sleek, which means 'smooth' or 'polished', so it was used for shiny fur or a glossy car finish. That's why sleekit describes something with a smooth, well-groomed look.
