Morphology

enrhythmic = rhythmic (transparent) = en + rhythm + ic

The word is transparently formed from 'rhythmic' with the productive prefix 'en-', denoting 'in/relating to rhythm'.

Etymology

Enrhythmic combines en- ('in' or 'into') and rhythm ('regular beat'), the same 'rhythm' you feel in a heartbeat or a clock. So when something is enrhythmic in biology, it means it follows the body's natural beats or cycles, like heartbeats or daily sleep patterns.
