Morphology
fiducial = fiduciary (opaque) = fiduci + al
The combining form 'fiduci-' is a non‑productive Latin-derived element and the technical meaning 'used as a reference' is specialized, so learners cannot reliably derive the sense from the parts.
Etymology
Fiducial comes from the Latin fiducia, meaning 'trust'. So a fiducial marker is a point you can 'trust' to be steady — a fixed reference for measuring or comparing things.
