Morphology

slushie = slush (transparent) = slush + ie

The drink name is directly formed from 'slush' with a familiar diminutive/nominalizing '-ie', so the meaning (a drink made of crushed ice) is predictable from the base.

Etymology

Slushie comes from slush, which means 'partly melted snow or ice'. The ending -ie makes it sound small or friendly, so a slushie is a sweet, icy drink made of crushed ice.
