Surface Forms
Morphology
lunar = moon (semi-transparent) = luna + ar
The adjective clearly means 'relating to the moon', but the form uses the Latin root 'luna-' rather than the common English word 'moon', so learners may recognise the meaning but not deduce the form from 'moon'.
Etymology
Lunar comes from the old Latin word luna, which means 'moon' and is also a common name. So lunar means 'relating to' or 'like the moon', as in a lunar eclipse or the lunar surface.
