Morphology
araneidal = araneid (opaque) = araneid + al
This is a learned suffixal adjective built from the technical base 'araneid' plus '-al', but the base is uncommon and unlikely to be meaningful to most learners.
Etymology
The word araneidal comes from the Latin word aranea, which means 'spider' and is the same root you see in arachnid. So, araneidal means 'like a spider' or 'relating to spiders'.
