Morphology
transition = transit (semi-transparent) = transit + ion
Morphologically this is 'transit' + '-ion', but the CSS meaning is a specialized technical extension of 'passage/change' and may be unfamiliar to general learners.
Etymology
Transition comes from the Latin trans- 'across' and ire 'to go', and web designers use the same idea for style changes. So a CSS transition makes a change move 'across' from one look to another in a smooth way over time.
