Morphology
anastigmatic = astigmatic (semi-transparent) = an + astigmat + ic
Formed by prefixing 'an-' to the adjective 'astigmatic'; the meaning 'not or correcting astigmatism' is predictable for those who know 'astigmatic', but the term is technical and the bound root is not obvious to general learners.
Etymology
Anastigmatic comes from Greek parts a- meaning 'not' and stigma meaning 'point' or 'mark', the same root behind astigmatism. So an anastigmatic lens does 'not' turn points into blurred marks and gives sharp, undistorted images.
