Morphology

Pannonian = Pannonia (semi-transparent) = Pannonia + ian

Derives from the place name 'Pannonia' with '-ian' but denotes a specialized geological stage/sediment named for the region; the morphological relation is clear but the specific geological meaning requires domain knowledge.

Etymology

Pannonian in geology is named after Pannonia, because the late Miocene rock layers and sediments were first studied in the Pannonian Basin. That's why geologists use Pannonian to describe those specific layers and the 'Pannonian stage'.
