Morphology

magnetic = magnet (semi-transparent) = magnet + ic

Formed from 'magnet' + '-ic' but used metaphorically to describe personal attraction rather than literal magnetism.

Etymology

A helpful way to remember the word magnetic for a person is to think of a magnet that 'attracts' metal; a 'magnetic' person draws people, attention, or friends in the same way. So calling someone 'magnetic' means they have an irresistible or very attractive quality.
