Morphology

glaucomatous = glaucoma (transparent) = glaucoma + ous

Standard adjectival formation from the disease noun 'glaucoma' meaning 'relating to or affected by glaucoma', which is directly inferable for learners who know the noun.

Etymology

Glaucomatous comes from the Greek glaukos, meaning 'bluish-green', because doctors long ago named the eye disease glaucoma after a greenish look of the pupil. So glaucomatous now means 'affected by glaucoma' or showing damage from that eye disease.
