Morphology
transdisciplinary = disciplinary (transparent) = trans + discipline + ary
The word is formed regularly by adding the prefix 'trans-' meaning across/beyond to 'disciplinary', so its meaning of spanning multiple fields is readily recoverable.
Etymology
Transdisciplinary starts with trans- meaning 'across' or 'beyond', like in transport, and ends with disciplinary from discipline, meaning 'a field of study' or 'training'. So, transdisciplinary describes working 'across' different fields (and beyond a single discipline) to solve complex problems.
