Morphology
eurythmic = eurhythm (semi-transparent) = eu + rhythm + ic
Formed from the term 'eurhythm' plus the adjectival suffix '-ic'; the Greek prefix 'eu-' and the specialized base make the meaning only partly obvious to average learners.
Etymology
Eurythmic comes from the Greek parts eu- meaning 'good' and rhythm meaning 'measured movement'. So something eurythmic has a 'good rhythm' — a pleasing, balanced flow in movement or design.
