Morphology

ultraterrene = terrene (transparent) = ultra + terrene

The meaning is directly compositional: 'ultra-' means beyond and 'terrene' means earthly, so the whole word means beyond the earth.

Etymology

Ultraterrene combines the prefix ultra- meaning 'beyond' and terra meaning 'earth', the same root you see in 'terrain' and 'territory'. So, ultraterrene describes things that exist or come from beyond our planet.
