Morphology
trank = tranquilizer (semi-transparent) = tranquil + ize + er
This is a clipped form of 'tranquilizer', so the meaning is preserved but the form is shortened in a way that is not fully predictable from standard morphology.
Etymology
The word trank is slang for a tranquilizer and comes from the longer word tranquilizer, whose root tranquil means 'calm', so a trank is a drug that makes someone calm or sleepy.
