Morphology

partite = part (transparent) = part + ite

The adjective is directly formed from 'part' with the suffix '-ite' meaning 'having or divided into parts', so the meaning is directly inferable from the base.

Etymology

Partite comes from the simple root part, which means 'part' or 'share'. It is like the word partition, which means 'a division', so partite describes something that is 'divided into parts'.
