Morphology

seminaked = naked (transparent) = semi + naked

The meaning is directly compositional: 'semi-' means partly and 'naked' means uncovered.

Etymology

Seminaked starts with semi- which means 'half', like in semicircle, and ends with naked which means 'not covered'. So seminaked describes someone who is partly, but not completely, without clothes.
