Morphology

cellarage = cellar (semi-transparent) = cellar + age

The word is clearly built from 'cellar' plus the noun-forming suffix '-age', but the exact sense 'fee' or 'storage space' is somewhat specialized and not fully predictable for an average learner.

Etymology

Cellarage comes from cellar (a cool room under a house for storing food or wine) plus the ending -age, which here works like in postage to mean a 'charge'; so cellarage is the fee for keeping goods in a cellar.
