Morphology
disinflationary = disinflation (semi-transparent) = dis + inflation + ary
Formed from 'disinflation' + '-ary' in a regular way, but the economic nuance (disinflation vs deflation) may not be obvious to all learners.
Etymology
Disinflationary is built from dis- ('not' or 'opposite') and inflation, which comes from inflate meaning 'to blow up' (think of a balloon) for prices. So a disinflationary policy or period makes the 'blowing up' of prices slow down, reducing the rate at which prices rise.
