Morphology

full-clad = full + clad (semi-transparent) = full + clad

The components 'full' and 'clad' are identifiable, but 'clad' is relatively infrequent and the provided sense ('complete, fully developed') departs from the literal 'fully clothed', so learners may not derive the sense reliably.

Etymology

The word full-clad comes from full and clad, where clad means 'dressed' and is the same root you see in clothes or clothe. So, to call a plan or idea full-clad is like saying it is 'fully dressed' with all its parts and details, meaning complete and ready.
