Morphology
semiperipheral = peripheral (transparent) = semi + periphery + al
The word is clearly formed by adding semi- to peripheral, and the remaining adjective is itself a regular derivative of periphery.
Etymology
The word semiperipheral combines semi- ('half') and periphery ('edge' or 'around'), so you can picture something 'half on the edge'. So semiperipheral describes a place or part that is not fully in the center and not fully on the outside, but sits between the two.
