many-lobed = many + lobed (transparent) = many + lobe + ed

A straightforward compound combining 'many' and the adjective 'lobed' (lobe + -ed); the meaning 'having many lobes' is directly derivable.

Etymology

The word many-lobed joins many ('a lot of') and lobe ('a rounded part'), the same lobe you find in earlobe or in the brain. So, many-lobed means having many rounded parts or sections.
