Morphology

ultraromantic = romantic (transparent) = ultra + romantic

The meaning is directly compositional: 'ultra-' expresses an extreme degree and 'romantic' supplies the core sense.

Etymology

The word ultraromantic combines ultra- meaning 'beyond' or 'extreme', the same ultra- you see in ultraviolet, and romantic, from 'romance' meaning strong feelings of love. So, ultraromantic means 'more than very romantic' or extremely romantic, which is why we use it for very dramatic love gestures or art.
