Morphology
aquatile = aquatic (transparent) = aquat + ile
The word clearly derives from the water-related adjective 'aquatic' (via the combining form 'aquat-') with the adjectival suffix '-ile', so the meaning 'relating to water' is directly inferable despite the word's archaic status.
Etymology
The word aquatile comes from the Latin root aqua, which means 'water' and shows up in familiar words like aquarium. So aquatile describes things that live in or relate to water.
