Morphology

ensample = sample (semi-transparent) = en + sample

Formally analyzable as en- + 'sample', but the modern senses of 'sample' differ from 'ensample' and the word is archaic, so learners may not derive the intended meaning easily.

Etymology

Ensample is an old form of example, made from en- and sample, and it originally meant 'a model' or 'pattern'. So an ensample is someone or something you should copy or follow.
