Morphology

anaglyphical = anaglyph (semi-transparent) = anaglyph + ical

The suffix 'ical' forms an adjective from 'anaglyph', but the technical meaning may not be immediately clear to all learners.

Etymology

Anaglyphical comes from two Greek parts: ana- meaning 'up' and glyph meaning 'carving', the same glyph you see in hieroglyph. So an anaglyphical image is made by layering marks or colors so parts of the picture 'stand up' and look 3D, like when you use red and blue glasses.
