Morphology

Ni-resist = resist (semi-transparent) = Ni + resist + Ni

Formed from the chemical symbol 'Ni' (nickel) + 'resist'; the components are recognizable but the term is a specialized trade name for a particular alloy, so a general learner may not derive the precise technical meaning.

Etymology

Ni-resist comes from Ni, short for 'nickel', and resist, meaning 'to stand against', so it names a nickel alloy that resists rust and heat.
