Morphology

satinpod = satin + pod (transparent) = satin + pod

The name straightforwardly describes pods that are satiny in appearance, so the compound's meaning is directly recoverable from its parts.

Etymology

Satinpod comes from the two English words satin and pod. satin suggests 'smooth and shiny' like the fabric, and pod means a 'seed case' like a pea pod. So satinpod is a plant named for its flat, silvery seedpods that are often used for decoration.
