Morphology

suprasensual = sensual (semi-transparent) = supra + sensual

The meaning 'above/beyond the senses' follows from 'supra' + 'sensual', but 'supra' is relatively rare and 'sensual' may be interpreted as 'sexual' by learners, so the composition may not be fully obvious.

Etymology

Suprasensual comes from the parts supra- ('above') and sense ('feeling'), like supersonic which means 'above sound'. So something suprasensual is 'above' the normal senses and cannot be seen or touched.
