Morphology

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

Compounding of 'slim' + 'line' where 'line' extends to mean a product/model line; the sense 'thinner version' is readily inferable.

Etymology

Slimline comes from the same parts slim ('thin') and line ('product line' or 'model'), so think of a thinner model in a product family. That's why a slimline is a thinner, smaller version of a product, often made to save space or weight.
