Morphology
transumption = consumption (semi-transparent) = trans + sumption
Meaning parallels established noun formations like 'consumption' (taking up or incorporation), but 'sumption' is a bound element rather than a standalone base, making the formation uncommon and only partially transparent.
Etymology
Transumption is built from trans- ('across') and -sumption ('to take'), a root you also see in consume, which means 'to take in'. So transumption can mean one thing being taken into or absorbed by another, like a fabric taking dye or roots taking nutrients.
