Morphology

eurhythmic = rhythmic (semi-transparent) = eu + rhythm + ic

The structure is a regular eu- + rhythmic formation, but 'eu-' is an uncommon combining form and may not be familiar to many learners.

Etymology

Eurhythmic comes from Greek parts eu- 'good' and rhythm (from rhythmos) 'beat' or 'flow'. So it means 'good rhythm', which is why we call a dance, design, or movement eurhythmic when it feels balanced and pleasing.
