Morphology

genotypical = genotypic (transparent) = genotype + al

Formed by a regular adjective extension from 'genotypic' (itself from 'genotype'); meaning is directly related to 'genotype'.

Etymology

Genotypical comes from geno- (like gene) meaning 'birth' or 'family' and type meaning 'form' or 'kind'. So genotypical describes the natural genetic form of a living thing, its genes or family makeup, rather than the traits you can see.
