Morphology
smokin' = smoking (semi-transparent) = smoke + in'
The adjective is a colloquial clipped form of 'smoking' and its figurative sense 'very attractive' is idiomatic and only partly predictable.
Etymology
Smokin' comes from the spoken form of smoking, which comes from smoke meaning 'to give off smoke' and often 'hot'. People began to call someone 'smokin'' when they looked so hot it was like they were 'smoking', so smokin' means 'very attractive'.
