Morphology
arborary = arbor (semi-transparent) = arbor + ary
The meaning 'relating to trees' can be derived from 'arbor' + '-ary', but 'arbor' as a standalone English noun is relatively uncommon and the adjective form is rare, so learners may not reliably infer the meaning.
Etymology
The word arborary comes from the Latin root arbor 'tree' and the ending -ary 'relating to'. Think of Arbor Day or an arborist who cares for trees, and you will remember that arborary means 'relating to or formed by trees'.
