Morphology

aponeurotic = aponeurosis (transparent) = aponeuro + tic

Regular adjective formation from the noun 'aponeurosis' (stem 'aponeuro-') using the productive suffix '-tic', yielding 'relating to aponeurosis'.

Etymology

Aponeurotic comes from Greek parts apo- 'away from' and neuron 'sinew', and a 'sinew' is like a tendon. Imagine a tendon that spreads out into a flat sheet, so aponeurotic means 'like a wide, tendon-like layer that connects muscles'.
