Morphology
audiologic = audiology (semi-transparent) = audio + logy + ic
The adjective is formed regularly from the noun 'audiology' with the standard adjectival suffix '-ic'.
Etymology
The word audiologic starts with audio-, which means 'to hear' and appears in words like audio and audible, and ends with -logic, which is like the ending in biology and helps mean 'study' or 'science'. So, audiologic means 'relating to the study or science of hearing', which is why doctors use it for hearing tests and research.
