Morphology

floriated = floriate (semi-transparent) = flori + ate + ed

Formed by the verb 'floriate' + '-ed'; the floral sense is derivable but the combining form 'flori-' and the rare verb may be unfamiliar to many learners.

Etymology

Floriated comes from the root flor-, which means 'flower' and is the same root in words like floral and florist. So floriated means 'decorated with flowers' or 'having a flower-like look'.
