Morphology

slutty = slut (transparent) = slut + y

The adjective is a straightforward adjectival formation from 'slut' meaning 'characterized by or resembling a slut', so learners can derive the sense about sexual provocation.

Etymology

Slutty comes from the older word slut, which once meant 'untidy' or 'dirty'. Over time people began to use slutty for clothes or a style that seems meant to attract sexual attention, so calling an outfit slutty says it looks sexually provocative.
