Morphology

millenary = millennium (transparent) = millen + ary

The adjective is formed by the combining form millen- (related to 'millennium') plus the productive suffix -ary, yielding 'relating to a thousand', which is directly inferable from the base.

Etymology

Millenary comes from the Latin root mille, which means 'thousand', so it describes something that relates to or is made of one thousand.
