Duolingo Japanese why?

I am doing Duolingo for Japanese to brush up in my Japanese. I came across a word that I don’t remember.

ダサい which means “hideous”

I know katakana is for foreign words, however, it’s written with the first two characters in katakana and the last character in hiragana. Why is that the case? I believe it’s the only word I’ve seen like that so far. The rest are all either purely katakana or purely hiragana.
