Morphology

neuritic = neurite (semi-transparent) = neur + ite + ic

The term 'neuritic' is derived from 'neurite' with the suffix '-ic', indicating a relation to neurites, but requires specific biological knowledge.

Etymology

The word neuritic comes from neuron 'nerve' and the ending -itic, which often means 'inflammation' in medical words like arthritic. So, neuritic can mean 'showing inflammation or damage of nerves'.
