Morphology

straplike = strap (transparent) = strap + like

Formed by the productive adjective-forming suffix '-like' meaning 'resembling a strap', which is directly inferable from the base 'strap'.

Etymology

Straplike comes from the simple word strap, a long thin band used to fasten things, and the ending -like, which means 'similar'. So straplike means 'similar to a strap', that is, long and narrow in shape.
