Morphology
dysphoric = dysphoria (semi-transparent) = dys + phoria + ic
The adjective is directly formed from the noun 'dysphoria' by the productive adjectival suffix '-ic'.
Etymology
Dysphoric comes from Greek parts dys- meaning 'bad' and phoria meaning 'feeling', and it shares the same root as euphoria ('good feeling'). So dysphoric describes a general 'bad' or uneasy mood, which is why it means a state of distress or dissatisfaction.
