Morphology
stroboscopic = stroboscope (transparent) = stroboscope + ic
The adjective is a regular derivation from the noun 'stroboscope' (or the related noun 'strobe') and denotes 'relating to or using rapid flashes of light'.
Etymology
Stroboscopic comes from a Greek root strob- meaning 'whirl' or 'spin' and from -scope, as in telescope, meaning 'to look', because early strobe devices used quick flashes to watch fast, turning things. So, stroboscopic describes lights or effects that flash very quickly and make motion appear as short, jumpy bursts.
