Morphology

volumetric = volume (semi-transparent) = volume + metric

While the components 'volume' and 'metric' are clear, the specific application to measurement is not immediately obvious.

Etymology

Volumetric comes from volume ('amount of space') and -metric ('measure'), so it means dealing with the measurement of how much space something takes.
