Morphology

transwarp = warp (semi-transparent) = trans + warp

The word is formed from the prefix trans- plus warp, but its science-fictional meaning is a specialized extension rather than a fully literal everyday combination.

Etymology

The verb transwarp comes from trans- 'beyond' plus warp, and it means to move by using a 'beyond warp' drive. So to transwarp is to travel at speeds faster than ordinary warp travel.
