Morphology
opulent = opulence (semi-transparent) = opul + ent
Formally derived from the noun 'opulence' with the adjectival suffix '-ent', but the Latinate combining form 'opul-' is not a productive or transparent element for many learners.
Etymology
Opulent comes from the Latin root ops, which means 'wealth' or 'power' and is the same root behind opulence. So, to call a place opulent is to say it is full of rich, luxurious things.
