Morphology

Reptilia = reptile (semi-transparent) = reptile + ia

Morphologically derived from 'reptile' + '-ia' (clear formation), but as a song title the referential meaning is a proper‑name use and not predictable from the base.

Etymology

Reptilia is the Latin name from reptilis meaning 'to crawl' and shares the same root as reptile, so as a song title it gives a cool, sharp image that matches the track's tense, energetic sound.
