Morphology
arbory = arbor (semi-transparent) = arbor + y
The noun sense as 'a grove' is an extension of 'arbor' + '-y' but is archaic and less predictable for modern learners.
Etymology
Arbory as a noun originally meant a 'grove' and comes from the Latin root arbor meaning 'tree'. So an arbory is a small wood or a planted place of trees, like a quiet garden of trees where you might walk or rest.
