Morphology

dynamic = dynamics (semi-transparent) = dynam + ic

The adjectival formation is regular ('-ic'), but the meaning 'energetic, forceful' is a metaphorical extension from 'power/force' and may not be obvious to all learners.

Etymology

Dynamic comes from the Greek root dynam- meaning 'power' or 'force'. A 'dynamic' person is like someone full of that power: energetic, always active, and able to bring change.
