Morphology
semi-abstraction = abstraction (transparent) = semi + abstract + ion
The word is a straightforward prefixation of semi- to abstraction, meaning 'partly abstract' or 'not fully realistic'.
Etymology
Semi-abstraction combines semi-, meaning 'half' as in semicircle, with abstraction, meaning 'not fully real or detailed'. So semi-abstraction is an art style that is partly real and partly abstract, where you can still see some real things but other parts are simplified or changed.
