Morphology
subperiosteal = periosteal (semi-transparent) = sub + peri + oste + al
The relation is a clear prefixation: 'sub-' (beneath) added to 'periosteal' yields 'beneath the periosteum'.
Etymology
Subperiosteal breaks into sub- ('under') and peri- + oste- ('around' and 'bone'), as in periosteum which is the 'covering' of a bone, so subperiosteal means 'under the covering around a bone'.
