Morphology
myoblastic = myoblast (semi-transparent) = myo + blast + ic
Formation from the noun 'myoblast' by the adjectival suffix '-ic' is a regular, directly interpretable derivation.
Etymology
The word myoblastic comes from the Greek parts myo- 'muscle' and -blast 'young cell' or 'bud'. So myoblastic means 'relating to young muscle cells' that will grow into muscle tissue.
