Morphology

antimagnetic = magnetic (transparent) = anti + magnet + ic

This is a straightforward negation of 'magnetic' using the productive prefix 'anti-'.

Etymology

The word antimagnetic comes from the prefix anti- meaning 'against' and the familiar word magnet, which 'pulls metal'. So antimagnetic describes something 'not affected by magnetic fields' and that 'resists becoming a magnet'.
