Morphology

lacepod = lace + pod (semi-transparent) = lace + pod

The compound clearly combines 'lace' + 'pod' (a pod that is lace-like), but the botanical usage is specialized and may not be fully predictable to all learners.

Etymology

The word lacepod is made of lace and pod: lace suggests 'delicate' fine fabric and pod means a 'small seed container' like a pea pod. So a lacepod is a plant with delicate flowers and thin seed pods that look almost like lace.
