Morphology

eyelike = eye (transparent) = eye + like

Formed from the noun 'eye' plus the productive suffix '-like' meaning 'resembling', so the meaning is directly inferable.

Etymology

The word eyelike comes from the simple parts eye and -like, where -like means 'similar'. So something eyelike looks 'like an eye' in shape or appearance, for example a moth's round spot or a circular window.
