Morphology

titania = titanium (semi-transparent) = titanium + ia

The form clearly derives from 'titanium' with the chemical‑naming suffix '-ia', but the specific meaning 'titanium dioxide pigment' is specialized and not obvious to general learners.

Etymology

Titania comes from Titan, the giant of Greek myth, and is related to the metal titanium. Because Titan suggests something 'great' or 'strong', this helps you remember that titania is a very white, strong powder used in paint and sunscreen.
