Morphology

threesome = three (semi-transparent) = three + some

Morphologically it is 'three' + group-forming '-some', but the specialized sexual meaning is a pragmatic extension that learners may not infer from components alone.

Etymology

Threesome is formed from three + some and is also commonly used to mean 'three people together' in a sexual situation, so you can remember it as the same idea of three people acting together, here in an intimate context.
