Morphology

hyaloplasmic = hyaloplasm (transparent) = hyaloplasm + ic

A regular adjectival formation from the noun 'hyaloplasm' (meaning 'relating to hyaloplasm').

Etymology

The word hyaloplasmic comes from Greek parts hyalo- meaning 'glass' and plasm meaning 'a formed thing', the same plasm you find in the common word plasma. So hyaloplasmic describes the clear, glass-like fluid part of a cell.
