Morphology
eurhythmics = eurhythmic (semi-transparent) = eu + rhythm + ics
The suffix 'ics' denotes a field of study, and while 'eurhythmic' is clear, the specific educational method meaning is specialized.
Etymology
Eurhythmics comes from the Greek parts eu- meaning 'good' or 'well' and rhythm meaning 'beat', the same root you see in the common word rhythm. It is a method that helps you feel music by moving your body, so the name helps you remember it as 'good rhythm' shown through movement.
