Morphology

holosuite = suite (semi-transparent) = holo + suite

The meaning is a straightforward 'holographic' + 'suite' construction, but 'holo' is a combining form not commonly a standalone word for many learners, so the relation is not fully transparent.

Etymology

The word holosuite joins holo-, from a word meaning 'whole' and seen in hologram, a '3D image', and suite, meaning a 'set of rooms' or a 'hotel room'. So a holosuite is like a 'whole' room of images, a special room that creates a life-like virtual world.
