Morphology

slimline = slim + line (transparent) = slim + line

Formed by combining 'slim' and 'line'; the meaning 'thin/compact' or 'a thin model' is directly inferable from the components.

Etymology

Slimline comes from combining slim ('thin') and line ('shape' or 'style'), so imagine a thin line or a slim shape. That's why slimline describes something thin, compact, and neatly shaped.
