Morphology

tritanopic = tritanopia (transparent) = tritanopia + ic

Formed by the standard adjective-forming suffix '-ic' from the noun 'tritanopia', so the relation 'relating to tritanopia' is directly derived.

Etymology

Tritanopic comes from Greek parts tri- meaning 'three' and -anopia meaning 'no sight'. It names the loss of the 'third' color sense, the blue one, so people who are tritanopic cannot see blue well and often confuse blue with yellow.
