Morphology

multisegmental = segmental (transparent) = multi + segment + al

The word transparently means 'multi-' plus 'segmental', with 'segmental' itself built from 'segment' + '-al'.

Etymology

The word multisegmental comes from multi- meaning 'many' and segment meaning 'a part' or 'section'. So, multisegmental describes something made of many parts or sections, like a bridge with several linked pieces or a movement that uses many body parts.
