Morphology
transmute = mutate (semi-transparent) = trans + mut
The prefix 'trans-' (across/change) plus the root 'mut-' (change) make the meaning predictable, but the root is a combining form (not a common standalone English word) and can be confused with the unrelated word 'mute', so learners may not fully infer the meaning.
Etymology
Transmute comes from the Latin parts trans- 'across' and mutare 'to change', and you can see the same change-root in mutate. So to transmute is to move something 'across' into a new form or substance, which is why people talk about turning lead into gold.
