Morphology
colorimetric = colorimetry (semi-transparent) = color + imetry + ic
Formed by adding the adjective-forming suffix '-ic' to the technical noun 'colorimetry'; 'color' is transparent but the combining form '-imetry' is technical and may be unfamiliar to general learners.
Etymology
Colorimetric combines color and -metric, where -metric means 'measure' and appears in familiar words like metric and meter. So a colorimetric test 'measures' color, which is why the word means 'measuring color'.
