Morphology

inerton = inert (transparent) = inert + on

Formed by the adjective 'inert' + the noun/particle-forming suffix '-on', yielding the straightforward meaning 'an inert thing/particle'.

Etymology

Inerton comes from inert 'not active' and the ending -on used in substance names like neon and argon, so it sounds like the name of a material. That's why an inerton means a substance that does not take part in chemical reactions.
