blastodermic = blastoderm (transparent) = blastoderm + ic

Formed by adding the adjectival suffix '-ic' to the noun 'blastoderm', so the meaning 'relating to a blastoderm' is directly predictable.

Etymology

Blastodermic comes from Greek parts blasto- meaning 'sprout' or 'germ', like the English word 'germ', and -derm meaning 'skin', so it describes the early 'skin' layer of growing cells in an embryo.
