Morphology

Kleinian = Klein (semi-transparent) = Klein + ian

Formally derived by adding the productive suffix '-ian' to the surname 'Klein'; the form is clear but understanding requires knowledge of the person's identity and domain (mathematics).

Etymology

Kleinian comes from the name of the German mathematician Felix Klein, whose work gave a new style of geometry and group theory. So a Kleinian idea or group is 'of or like Klein's mathematics', especially in geometry and group theory.
