Morphology

ultrarefined = refined (transparent) = ultra + refine

The word is transparently formed by adding the intensifying prefix ultra- to refined.

Etymology

Ultrarefined comes from the prefix ultra- meaning 'beyond' or 'extreme' and refined meaning 'made fine' or 'polished', like when we say 'refined manners'. So ultrarefined describes style or taste that is more than fine — very elegant and cultured.
