Morphology

transmarginal = marginal (transparent) = trans + margin + al

The sense 'across or beyond a physical margin' follows directly from 'trans-' (across/beyond) + 'marginal' (at a margin), so the meaning is predictable.

Etymology

Transmarginal comes from trans- 'across' and margin 'edge' or 'border', so it describes something that goes 'across the edge' or sits beyond a physical border.
