Morphology
kinetic = kinet (opaque) = kinet + ic
The root 'kinet' is not a standalone English word, and the meaning is not directly derivable from its components.
Etymology
Kinetic comes from the Greek root kine- and kinesis, which mean 'movement', the same root you see in cinema because movies are 'moving' pictures. So, something kinetic is about or caused by movement.
