Morphology
morphic = morph (transparent) = morph + ic
The suffix '-ic' is commonly used to form adjectives meaning 'relating to' or 'characterized by'.
Etymology
Morphic comes from the old Greek root morph meaning 'form', the same root in the word metamorphosis ('change of form') and in the common verb morph ('to change shape'). So, morphic describes things about shape or structure, which is why scientists and language experts use it when they talk about forms and patterns.
