Morphology
juxtaposed = juxtapose (semi-transparent) = juxta + pose + ed
The adjective is a regular past-participle formation from the verb 'juxtapose', but the combining element 'juxta-' is uncommon for learners, so the relation is only partially clear.
Etymology
Juxtaposed comes from the Latin parts juxta 'next to' and pose 'place', and you can think of the familiar word pose as 'to put' something. So, to juxtapose things is to put them 'next to' each other, usually to compare or show a contrast.
