Morphology
antidepressant = antidepressant (semi-transparent) = anti + depress + ant
The noun is a substantivized use of the adjective 'antidepressant'; the morphology is clear, though the medical sense is specialized.
Etymology
Antidepressant comes from the parts anti- 'against' and depress 'press down'. So an antidepressant is a medicine that works 'against' feelings that press you down, helping to lift your mood.
