Morphology

hidrotic = hidrosis (opaque) = hidro + tic

Built from a Greek medical combining form (hidro-) plus the suffix -tic; the combining form and the related noun 'hidrosis' are specialized and not transparent to average learners.

Etymology

The word hidrotic comes from the Greek root hidro- which means 'sweat', so a hidrotic condition or effect is one that relates to or causes sweating.
