Morphology

volumetric = volume (transparent) = volume + ic

The technical 'volumetric' sense (3D/volume-based data) is still transparently 'relating to volume' and can be inferred from 'volume' + adjectival suffix.

Etymology

Volumetric comes from volume ('three-dimensional space') and -metric ('measure'), so in media it means creating or capturing full 3D 'volumes' you can move around inside, not flat pictures.
