Morphology
The noun phrase is compositionally transparent in that 'love life' (romantic life) combined with a modifier meaning 'involving three partners' yields the intended meaning, so the overall semantics are predictable from parts. However, the modifier 'trinogamous' is rare/not in dictionaries and requires morphological parsing (tri- + -gamous) or prior exposure, which many B1 learners are unlikely to have; this partial analyzability makes the expression only partially transparent.
Etymology
Trinogamous love life comes from the parts tri- meaning 'three' and gamous meaning 'marriage' or 'partnership', so it paints a simple picture of three people sharing a romantic life. That's why it means 'a romantic life or relationship involving three partners'.
