Morphology
fluosilicic = fluosilic (semi-transparent) = fluo + silic + ic
The suffix '-ic' is used to form adjectives, but the chemical context may not be clear to all learners.
Etymology
The word fluosilicic joins fluo-, from 'fluorine' as in fluoride, and silic-, from 'silicon' as in silicate. So, it names a chemical that contains both silicon and fluorine.
