Morphology

aquatics = aquatic (transparent) = aquatic + s

The noun is formed from the adjective 'aquatic' meaning 'relating to water' with a nominalizing/plural -s to denote water-related activities, so the meaning is directly derivable.

Etymology

The word aquatics comes from the Latin aqua, which means 'water', and the ending -ics, which turns a word into a subject or area. So aquatics means sports and activities that happen in water, like swimming and diving.
