Morphology

undersoul = soul (transparent) = under + soul

The meaning (an underlying or foundational soul/force) follows directly from 'under' + 'soul' and is inferable by learners.

Etymology

Undersoul comes from under ('beneath') and soul ('life' or 'inner self'), so imagine a hidden life force beneath everything, like roots under a forest that connect all the trees. That's why the word is used for a spirit or force that links all living things.
