Morphology

reformanda = reform (semi-transparent) = reform + anda

The verb 'reform' gives a clear clue, but the suffix 'anda' is a non‑standard learned suffix unfamiliar to many learners, so the meaning is only partially obvious.

Etymology

Reformanda comes from Latin parts re- 'again', formare 'to form', and the ending -anda which means 'things to be ...', like agenda 'things to be done'. So, as an adjective reformanda describes something 'needing reform' or 'to be reformed'.
