Morphology
endomorph = morph (semi-transparent) = endo + morph
The prefix 'endo-' means 'inside' or 'within', and 'morph' means 'form', but the specific body type meaning is specialized.
Etymology
Endomorph comes from the parts endo- meaning 'inside' and -morph meaning 'shape', the same idea you see in the word morph ('to change shape'). So an endomorph is a body 'shape' that is softer and rounder and often stores fat more easily, which explains the modern meaning.
