Morphology
dynamism = dynamic (semi-transparent) = dynam + ism
Formally 'dynamic' + '-ism' indicates a doctrine related to force or energy, but the specialized philosophical/cosmological sense is more technical and may not be obvious to average learners.

Dynamism comes from the Greek dynamis meaning 'power', and in philosophy it names ideas that see the universe as the result of forces or energy rather than only matter. So this kind of dynamism says that 'power' and movement are the basic things behind reality.
