Morphology

humaniform = human (semi-transparent) = human + iform

The suffix '-iform' normally denotes 'in the form or shape of'; applying it to behaviour/mental qualities is a metaphorical extension, so the relation is partly but not fully transparent.

Etymology

Humaniform is made from human and -form, where human means 'person' and form means 'shape' or 'type'. So, when something is called humaniform in behaviour, it acts or feels like a person.
