Morphology
dynamic = dynamics (semi-transparent) = dynam + ic
The morphology is regular, but the linguistic technical sense (action/process vs state) is a specialized sense that may not be predictable by general learners.
Etymology
Dynamic comes from the Greek root dynam- meaning 'power' or 'force'. In grammar it describes verbs or adjectives that show action or process, words that have the 'power' to change things rather than just a state of being.
