Morphology

socioemotional = emotional (semi-transparent) = socio + emotional

Combining form 'socio-' plus the adjective 'emotional' yields the combined meaning, but 'socio-' as a bound combining form may be less familiar to some learners.

Etymology

Socioemotional joins socio- like in social, meaning 'with others', and emotional, from emotion, meaning 'feelings'. So it is about both people's feelings and how they get along with others.
