Morphology

trill = true + real (semi-transparent) = true + real

The slang sense is a deliberate blend of 'true' + 'real', so the components cue the meaning 'genuine', but it's slang and not predictable to all learners.

Etymology

Trill comes from blending the words true and real, first used in hip-hop to mean 'genuine' or 'authentic', so calling someone trill says they are really true to themselves and not fake.
