Morphology

ingeminate = geminate (semi-transparent) = in + geminate

The prefix 'in-' suggests intensification, but the specific meaning of repetition for emphasis is not fully transparent.

Etymology

Ingeminate comes from Latin parts in- and gemin-, where gemin- means 'twin' or 'double' and is the same root as Gemini. So, to ingeminate something is to 'make it double', meaning to repeat or say it again for emphasis.
