Morphology
polycarbonate = polycarbonate (transparent) = poly + carbonate
This adjective is a straightforward conversion from the noun polycarbonate and means 'made of or related to polycarbonate'.
Etymology
Polycarbonate combines poly- 'many' and carbonate 'carbon', so it means 'made from many carbon parts'. That is why something described as polycarbonate is made from the same strong, clear, impact-resistant plastic used in goggles and windows.
