Morphology

uniserial = serial (semi-transparent) = uni + serial

Parts 'uni-' + 'serial' are clear, but the term is technical and the combined form is specialized vocabulary.

Etymology

The word uniserial combines uni- meaning 'one', as in unicycle, and serial meaning 'a line or a series', as in a serial number. So, uniserial describes things arranged in a single row or series.
