Morphology

multinucleated = multinucleate (semi-transparent) = multi + nucleate + ed

Adding -ed to multinucleate is a regular participial/adjectival formation that does not change the core lexical meaning.

Etymology

Multinucleated is made of the parts multi- meaning 'many' and nucleus meaning 'core' or 'center', like in nuclear. So, a multinucleated city or region has several active centers of culture or business.
