Morphology
detox = detoxification (semi-transparent) = de + tox
This is a metaphorical extension of the medical sense ('digital/social media detox') and is understandable once the basic 'remove toxins/remove dependence' sense is known, but it is an extended (non-literal) use.
Etymology
Detox comes from de- 'remove' and tox as in toxic 'poison'. A digital detox means taking time away from phones and social media to clear your mind, like removing a 'poison' from your daily life.
