Morphology
chromatographic = chromatography (transparent) = chromatograph + ic
The adjective is a direct derivation from the noun 'chromatography' with the productive suffix '-ic' meaning 'relating to', so the meaning is clear to learners who know the base term.
Etymology
Chromatographic comes from the Greek parts chroma 'color' and graph 'write'. Early scientists used the method to make the parts of a mixture appear as colored bands on paper, like 'writing' with colors, so chromatographic now means a way to separate and show a mixture's parts.
