Morphology

Futuramic = future (semi-transparent) = future + amic

Derived from 'future' with a coined suffix '-amic', so the general sense 'futuristic design' is inferable though the formation is non‑standard.

Etymology

A helpful way to remember the noun Futuramic is to see it as a thing of the future ('what is to come') with the lively ending -amic. That's why a 'Futuramic' is a product or design with a shiny, modern look popular in the 1940s and 1950s.
