Morphology

endomorphy = endomorph (semi-transparent) = endomorph + y

Formed by a regular nominalization of the technical noun 'endomorph' with the suffix '-y' meaning state or quality.

Etymology

Endomorphy comes from Greek parts endo- meaning 'inside' and morph meaning 'shape' (with morph like the English word 'form'). So endomorphy describes a body shape that is rounder, softer, and heavier — a shape that tends to keep more fat, which explains the modern meaning.
