Morphology

mesospheric = mesosphere (transparent) = meso + sphere + ic

Formed by adding the adjectival suffix '-ic' to the noun 'mesosphere', so the relation is a straightforward derivation.

Etymology

Mesospheric comes from Greek parts meso- meaning 'middle' and sphere meaning 'ball' or 'globe'. So, it literally says 'middle layer', which is why mesospheric can describe the deep, middle region of the Earth's mantle inside the planet.
