Morphology

counternotice = counternotice (semi-transparent) = counter + notice

The meaning is largely predictable from 'counter' + 'notice', but the legal/administrative sense is specialized rather than fully everyday.

Etymology

Counternotice comes from counter ('against') and notice ('message' or 'warning'), and as a verb it means to send a formal reply that argues against a legal notice. So to counternotice is to challenge a claim and ask for the removed content to be restored.
