Morphology

meeter = meet (semi-transparent) = meet + er

The comparative ending '-er' is regular, but the base adjective 'meet' is archaic and likely unfamiliar to many learners.

Etymology

Meeter is the comparative form of meet, which once meant 'fitting' or 'proper'. So a meeter thing is simply one that is more suitable or appropriate.
