Morphology
azonic = zonic (semi-transparent) = a + zone + ic
If a learner knows the rare adjective 'zonic', the negative prefix 'a-' gives the meaning fairly directly, but that base is uncommon and the prefix is not highly familiar.
Etymology
Azonic starts with a- meaning 'not' and the second part comes from zone, which means 'area' or 'region'. So an azonic species or mineral is 'not limited to one zone' and can be found in many different places.
