Morphology

satyrical = satyr (transparent) = satyr + ical

The adjective is directly formed from 'satyr' with the productive suffix '-ical' and retains the sense 'relating to a satyr' (lascivious qualities).

Etymology

Satyrical comes from satyr, a figure in Greek myth who was 'half-man, half-goat' and known for being 'full of sexual desire'. So satyrical describes behaviour that is very sexual or lustful.
