Morphology

lenticularis = lenticular (semi-transparent) = lenticul + is

Formed from 'lenticular' with a Latin ending '-is'; the anatomical relation to the eye's lens is predictable from 'lenticular' but the Latin form is nonstandard in common English.

Etymology

Lenticularis comes from the Latin lens, which meant 'lentil' and gave us the English word lens for the eye part. So lenticularis describes things that have to do with the eye's lens, like a change or problem in that small, curved part.
