Morphology

tunicated = tunic (semi-transparent) = tunic + ated

While 'tunic' is clear, the suffix 'ated' is less common, making the meaning slightly less transparent.

Etymology

Tunicated comes from the Latin word tunica 'tunic' and shares the same root as the common word tunic. That is why tunicated can describe a statue or person who is literally 'wearing a tunic'—a simple sleeved garment.
