Morphology
Sebastes + ruberrimus
This is a scientific Latin binomial: 'Sebastes' signals the rockfish genus (transparent), but 'ruberrimus' is a Latin species epithet not part of everyday English and is listed as unknown here. If a learner somehow knew both constituent meanings (including Latin ruber → red), the name would compositionally indicate a very red Sebastes, but for an average B1 learner the Latin element is not predictable or familiar, so the overall transparency is partial.
Etymology
Sebastes ruberrimus is a scientific name that works like a short description. Sebastes is the group name for rockfish and ruberrimus means 'very red' in Latin, so the name points to this fish's bright red color.
