Morphology
stoichiometric = stoichiometry (transparent) = stoichiometry + ic
Formed by a standard adjectival suffix '-ic' on the noun 'stoichiometry', so the meaning 'relating to stoichiometry' is directly derived.
Etymology
Stoichiometric comes from Greek parts stoicheion meaning 'element' and metron meaning 'measure', and the first part is like the English word element. So stoichiometric literally means 'measuring elements' and describes a mixture with the exact amounts of each part so a chemical reaction can finish.
