Morphology

alphamerical = alphanumerical (semi-transparent) = alpha + numerical

Formed by blending or variant spelling of 'alphanumerical' (alpha + numerical); the meaning is predictable but the nonstandard/rare form and altered spelling may confuse learners.

Etymology

The word alphamerical combines alpha, from 'alphabet' meaning 'letters', and numerical meaning 'numbers', so it describes text, codes, or passwords that use both letters and numbers.
