Morphology
contemporaneous = contemporary (semi-transparent) = contemporary + ous
The meaning is clearly related to 'contemporary', but the formal stem variation and register difference make the derivation slightly less obvious to average learners.
Etymology
Contemporaneous comes from the parts con- 'together' and temp- 'time', the same root you find in temporary and contemporary. So, something contemporaneous happens 'at the same time' or exists together with something else.
