Morphology

solunar = lunar (semi-transparent) = sol + lunar + sol

Built from the Latin combining form 'sol-' (sun) plus the familiar adjective 'lunar'; 'sol-' is not a common standalone English morpheme and the term is specialized.

Solunar as a noun comes from sol- ('sun') and lunar ('moon'), like in solar and lunar. It means a 'period' of time when animals, especially fish, are thought to be most active because of the positions of the sun and the moon.
