Morphology
anthropical = anthropic (semi-transparent) = anthrop + al
The word is formed from the combining form 'anthrop-' (human) with an adjectival suffix; the structure is regular but the combining form and base 'anthropic' are somewhat technical and may not be familiar to general B1 learners.
Etymology
Anthropical comes from the Greek root anthro- meaning 'human' and the ending -ical meaning 'related to', as in anthropology. So anthropical means 'relating to humankind' or to the period shaped by human activity.
