Morphology
transcription = transcribe (semi-transparent) = trans + script + ion
A technical biological process (copying DNA information into RNA) that builds on the general idea of 'copying/transferring' but is specialized and requires domain knowledge.
Etymology
Transcription in genetics is the process of copying DNA 'across' into RNA, and the parts trans- 'across' and scrib 'write' make this clear, so transcription here means making a written-style copy of genetic information into RNA.
