Surface Forms

kinoplasmic positive

Morphology

kinoplasmic = kinoplasm (transparent) = kinoplasm + ic

Formed by adding the productive adjective-forming suffix '-ic' to the noun 'kinoplasm', yielding 'relating to kinoplasm'.

Etymology

Kinoplasmic comes from the Greek root kine- meaning 'move' and plasm meaning 'a formed substance', like the plasm in cytoplasm and the 'kine-' in kinetic. So kinoplasmic describes the 'moving' part of a cell's cytoplasm, which is why we use it for parts involved in cell movement and division.
