Morphology

smoothie = smooth (transparent) = smooth + ie

The slang noun is formed from the adjective 'smooth' (suave) plus '-ie', so the relation is directly inferable.

Etymology

Smoothie for a person comes from smooth, meaning 'pleasant and confident', with the ending -ie, like calling someone a 'smooth talker'. So a smoothie is someone who is charming and easy with words, often in a not honest way.
