Morphology

with-it = it (semi-transparent) = with + it

The components 'with' and 'it' are common words, but the idiomatic adjective meaning 'aware/trendy' is not a completely predictable literal combination for learners. [Postprocessing: moved 'with' from base_words to prefix]

Etymology

The word with-it comes from two simple parts: with 'together' and it 'the thing that is now popular'. So to be with-it is to be 'together with' what is current or fashionable, which is why it means being aware of the latest trends and up to date.
