Gaussian = Gauss (transparent) = Gauss + ian
The word is a regular adjective meaning 'relating to Gauss', formed from the proper name plus the productive suffix '-ian'.
Etymology
The word Gaussian comes from the name Gauss, a famous German mathematician who studied many ideas in math. He used a smooth 'bell-shaped' curve, so calling something Gaussian means it is 'related to Gauss' or has that bell shape.
