Morphology
nomological = nomology (semi-transparent) = nomology + ical
Standard adjective formation from the noun 'nomology' with the productive suffix '-ical'.
Etymology
Nomological comes from the Greek words nomos ('law') and logos ('study' or 'reason'), the same root you see in autonomy or economy where '-nomy' means 'rules' or 'order'. That's why nomological can describe things about legal rules or the study of law, because it links back to 'law' itself.
