Morphology

aneurismatic = aneurysm (semi-transparent) = aneurysm + atic

The suffix '-atic' forms adjectives, but the specific medical context may not be immediately clear to all learners.

Etymology

Aneurismatic comes from a Greek idea of a 'widening'. The parts ana- 'out' and eurys 'wide' formed the word aneurysm, which named a blood vessel that has widened or bulged. So aneurismatic describes something that relates to a widened or bulging blood vessel.
