Morphology

albinic = albino (transparent) = albin + ic

The adjective is formed by adding the productive suffix '-ic' to the recognizable noun 'albino', so the meaning 'relating to albinism' is directly derived.

Etymology

Albinic comes from the Latin albus, meaning 'white', and shares the same root as albino. So, albinic describes people or animals with very little color, making them pale or white.
