Morphology

amnic = amnion (transparent) = amni + ic

Formed by adding the adjective-forming suffix '-ic' to 'amnion', yielding the predictable meaning 'relating to the amnion'.

Etymology

The word amnic comes from the Greek amnion, from amnos 'lamb', and it refers to the thin, protective 'membrane' that covers a developing baby, as in the amniotic sac.
