Morphology

delamination = delaminate (transparent) = de + lamin + ate + ion

This is a standard noun formation from the verb 'delaminate', meaning the process or result of separating into layers.

Etymology

Delamination comes from the part de- meaning 'off' and lamina meaning 'thin layer', the same root you see in laminate. So delamination is when layers of a material split apart or come off from each other.
