Morphology
updo = do (semi-transparent) = up + do
The prefix 'up' suggests the direction of the hairstyle, but the specific meaning of a formal hairstyle is not fully transparent.
Etymology
The word updo comes from the parts up and do, where do means a 'hairstyle' as in hairdo and up means 'up' or 'off the face'. So an updo is a hairstyle where the hair is gathered 'up' and pinned, often for a formal event.
