Morphology
compenetration = penetration (semi-transparent) = com + penetrate + ation
While 'com-' and 'penetration' are clear, the specific meaning of mutual merging or interpenetration is specialized.
Etymology
Compenetration comes from com- ('together') and penetration from a root meaning 'to go into', the same root as the familiar verb penetrate. So it pictures different things 'going into' each other at the same time while still being themselves, which fits how musical styles, shapes, or light and shadow can deeply merge yet stay separate.
