Morphology

embracive = embrace (semi-transparent) = embrace + ive

The sense 'tending to include or cover a wide range' is a metaphorical extension of 'embrace' meaning 'to include' and thus is somewhat shifted from the literal hug sense.

Etymology

Embracive comes from embrace, from em- 'in' plus a root for 'arm', like in bracelet. So think of 'taking things into your arms' to remember the meaning 'including a wide range of people or ideas'.
