Morphology
Tridentine = Trent (semi-transparent) = trident + ine
Built by suffixation from the place-name element referring to the Council of Trent; the morphological relation is clear but the specific meaning ('a supporter/practitioner of the Tridentine liturgy') depends on specialized historical/religious knowledge.
Etymology
Tridentine comes from the Council of Trent, and the town's Latin name is like trident, which means 'three-toothed'. So a Tridentine is someone 'of Trent' — a person who supports or attends the traditional Latin Mass that the council established.
