Morphology

noetics = noetic (semi-transparent) = noetic + s

Derived from 'noetic' with a noun-forming ending analogous to academic field names; the specialized spiritual/parapsychological sense depends on disciplinary usage beyond simple compositional meaning.

Etymology

Noetics is also used for the study of intuitive or spiritual 'knowing'. It comes from the Greek root noē- 'to think', so this sense points to inner, direct knowledge and experience.
