Morphology
proprietary = proprietor (semi-transparent) = propriet + ary
Formally derived from the owner-related base (proprietor/property), but the specific legal/technical sense 'protected by trademark/patent/copyright' is a specialized extension that may not be obvious to all learners.
Etymology
Proprietary comes from the Latin root proprius meaning 'own' and shares the same root as the common word property. So when something is proprietary it is owned and controlled by its maker, often with legal rules that limit who can use or change it.
