cerebellar = cerebellum (transparent) = cerebellum + ar
Formed by adding the adjectival suffix '-ar' to 'cerebellum', giving the straightforward meaning 'relating to the cerebellum'.
Etymology
The word cerebellar comes from the Latin word cerebellum, which means 'little brain'. The cerebellum helps control balance and coordination, so cerebellar means 'relating to that little brain'.
