Morphology

cellular = cell (transparent) = cell + ular

Formed by the noun 'cell' plus the adjectival suffix '-ular', giving a direct 'relating to cells' meaning.

Etymology

Cellular comes from the Latin cellula, which means 'small room' and gave us the everyday word cell. So cellular in biology talks about the tiny 'rooms' or parts inside living things, which is why it means 'relating to cells'.
