Morphology
flatulent = flatulence (transparent) = flatul + ent
The adjective is a straightforward formation related to the noun 'flatulence' (having or causing gas), so the meaning is predictable from the base.
Etymology
The word flatulent comes from the Latin flatus, which means 'a blow' or 'breath', and the same root is in inflate. So flatulent means having too much gas in the stomach or intestines—like being full of air that can 'blow' out of the body.
