Morphology
aureate = aure + ate
The sense 'golden, gold-coloured' is conceptually close to the Latin root meaning 'gold', but the root form 'aure-' and the learned suffix '-ate' are not obvious to average learners, making the relation only partly accessible.
Etymology
Aureate comes from the Latin aurum, meaning 'gold'. So aureate describes a deep, warm, golden color, like hair or fields that shine in the sun.
