Morphology

endermatic = enderm (semi-transparent) = en + derm + atic

While 'enderm' is related to the skin, the suffix '-atic' and the specific meaning related to absorption through the skin may not be immediately apparent.

Etymology

The word endermatic comes from the parts endo- 'in' and derm 'skin', the same derm you see in dermatologist. So an endermatic treatment works by going 'into the skin' and being absorbed through it.
