Morphology

violet-streaked = violet + streak (transparent) = violet + streak + ed

The parts retain their usual meanings: 'violet' specifies the colour and 'streak(ed)' indicates having lines of that colour.

Etymology

Violet-streaked combines violet, the name of a colour and a small flower, with streak meaning 'a thin line' and the ending -ed which means 'marked with'. So, violet-streaked simply means 'marked with thin violet lines', which helps you picture a dress, petal, or sky with fine purple stripes.
