Morphology
actinometrical = actinometry (semi-transparent) = actino + metry + ical
Forming an adjective from the noun 'actinometry' by adding a regular suffix is regular, but the internal combining forms ('actino-' and '-metry') are technical and unfamiliar to average learners.
Etymology
The word actinometrical comes from the part actino- meaning 'ray' and the part -meter or -metrical meaning 'measure', the same idea as in thermometer or speedometer. So actinometrical means 'measuring rays', which is why it describes instruments and methods that measure sunlight and other light energy.
