Morphology

nonuple = ninefold (semi-transparent) = nonu + ple

Formed from a numeric combining form (nonu-) plus the combining element -ple meaning 'fold'; the structure follows a productive pattern (double/triple/etc.) but the specific morphemes are not common standalone words for learners.

Etymology

Nonuple comes from the Latin novem 'nine' and the ending -uple 'fold', the same ending you see in double and triple. So nonuple means 'made of nine parts' or 'nine times as great'.
