Morphology

monoline = line (semi-transparent) = mono + line

The structure mono + line is clear, but the specialized sense of a design with strokes of uniform thickness is only partly predictable from the base word.

Etymology

Monoline comes from mono- 'one' and line 'line'. So, as an adjective it describes something made from a single line (for example, strokes of the same thickness) or something that relates to a single line of work.
