Morphology

silvery-bodied = silvery + bodied (transparent) = silver + body + y + ed

The compound is a straightforward combination of 'silvery' and 'bodied' meaning 'having a silver-coloured body', which is directly inferable from its parts.

Etymology

Silvery-bodied comes from combining silvery ('like silver') and bodied ('having a body'). It gives a clear image — a coin, fish, or horse with a shiny, silver-like body — so the origin directly explains the modern meaning.
