Morphology
concentrical = concentric (transparent) = concentric + al
The adjective is formed by adding the productive suffix '-al' to 'concentric', so the meaning is directly derived from the base adjective.
Etymology
Concentrical comes from the Latin parts con- 'together' and centrum 'center', and is related to the English word center. So something concentrical has shapes like circles that all share the same middle point, like ripples in a pond.
