Mefites = MeFi (semi-transparent) = MeFi + tes
The word is formed from the clipped community name MeFi plus a member-label suffix, which is understandable mainly to people familiar with the site.
Etymology
Mefites comes from the website name MetaFilter and means 'members of the MetaFilter community'. So Mefites are simply people who use and take part in that online forum, like how Reddit users are called 'Redditors'.
