Morphology
theoretics = theoretic (semi-transparent) = theoret + ics
Formed from the adjective 'theoretic' plus the disciplinary suffix '-ics'; the meaning 'study of theory' is inferable but the '-ics' derivation is somewhat specialized.
Etymology
The word theoretics comes from the same root as theory and theoretical, from Greek theoria meaning 'to look' or 'a view'. So theoretics is about ideas and general rules — thinking about how things work rather than doing them.
