Morphology
inebriated = inebriate (semi-transparent) = in + ebriate + ed
The base 'inebriate' is not a commonly known word, making the transparency less clear.
Etymology
Inebriated comes from Latin parts in- and ebrius, where ebrius means 'drunk'. A helpful way to remember is to think of imbibe ('to drink'), so inebriated means someone has 'drunk' too much.
