Morphology

aneurysmatic = aneurysm (transparent) = aneurysm + atic

Formed by adding the adjectival suffix '-atic' to the noun 'aneurysm', yielding 'relating to or affected by an aneurysm', which is directly predictable from the base.

Etymology

Aneurysmatic comes from aneurysm, itself from Greek parts ana- 'up' and eurys 'wide', giving the image of a blood vessel that becomes wide or bulging. So aneurysmatic describes something that is related to or affected by that dangerous widening in a blood vessel.
