Morphology
stereotypical = stereotype (transparent) = stereotype + ical
The adjective is formed by adding the productive suffix '-ical' to the noun 'stereotype', yielding a clear adjectival meaning 'relating to or characteristic of a stereotype'.
Etymology
The word stereotypical comes from stereotype, built from stereo- 'solid' and the familiar English word type meaning 'form'. Because a printing plate with that name made the same copy again and again, a stereotypical idea is one that is fixed, repeated, and not original.
