Morphology

monophasic = phasic (semi-transparent) = mono + phase + ic

Adding mono- to 'phasic' gives the meaning fairly directly, but 'phasic' is itself a technical adjective for many learners.

Etymology

Monophasic combines mono- ('one') and phasic (from 'phase'), so it literally means 'one phase'; that's why a monophasic pill or treatment keeps the same dose or stage all the way through.
