Morphology

amoristic = amor (semi-transparent) = amor + istic

The root 'amor' is clear, but the suffix '-istic' may not be immediately recognizable to all learners as forming an adjective.

Etymology

The word amoristic comes from the Latin word amor 'love' and is like the English word amorous. So, amoristic describes things that are 'about romantic love' or 'full of love'.
