Morphology

Einsteinian = Einstein (transparent) = Einstein + ian

Clearly formed from the proper name 'Einstein' plus the adjectival suffix '-ian', meaning 'relating to Einstein' which is directly inferable.

Etymology

Einsteinian comes from the name Einstein, the scientist Albert Einstein, plus the ending -ian, which means 'related to' or 'belonging to', just like Newtonian. So Einsteinian means 'related to Einstein or his theories', especially his ideas about space and time.
