Morphology
hemispheric = hemisphere (transparent) = hemi + sphere + ic
The adjective 'hemispheric' is clearly derived from the noun 'hemisphere' by adding the suffix '-ic'.
Etymology
The word hemispheric comes from hemi- meaning 'half' and sphere meaning 'ball', as in hemisphere. So hemispheric means 'relating to one half' of a round thing, like one half of the Earth or one side of the brain.
