Morphology

low-rise = low + rise (semi-transparent) = low + rise

While 'low' is obvious, 'rise' here is a specialized clothing term referring to crotch-to-waist distance, so learners may not derive the precise clothing meaning.

Etymology

The word low-rise comes from the parts low 'not high' and rise 'to go up'. So low-rise clothes, especially jeans, are made to sit 'low' on the hips, below the waist.
