Morphology

anuretic = anuria (semi-transparent) = an + urine + tic

Forming an adjective from the medical noun 'anuria' by adding the adjectival suffix '-tic' is a regular and recognizable derivational step for learners familiar with medical terminology.

Etymology

Anuretic comes from the parts an- 'without' and ur- which you can see in 'urinate' and means 'urine', so it literally means 'without urine' and is used for someone who cannot urinate.
