Morphology

slender-winged = slender + winged (transparent) = slender + wing + ed

The adjective is a straightforward compound of 'slender' + '-winged' (i.e., 'having slender wings'), a productive and transparent construction.

Etymology

Slender-winged joins slender ('thin' or 'slim') and winged (having wings), so it simply means 'having thin wings' and helps you picture birds or insects with long, narrow wings.
