Morphology
polyarchic = polyarchy (semi-transparent) = poly + arch + ic
The adjective is a regular formation from the noun 'polyarchy' plus '-ic', so the structural relationship is clear once the base is known.
Etymology
Polyarchic comes from poly- meaning 'many' and -archic from arch meaning 'rule', the same arch you see in monarch. So a polyarchic system is one where power is shared by many people.
