Morphology

blastodermatic = blastoderm (transparent) = blastoderm + atic

Formed by the standard adjectival derivation from the noun 'blastoderm' meaning 'relating to or characteristic of a blastoderm.'

Etymology

The word blastodermatic comes from the two parts blasto- meaning 'sprout' and derm- meaning 'skin', so you can picture a 'sprout-skin' of new cells. That's why blastodermatic describes things relating to the thin layer of very early embryo cells.
