Morphology

colorimetrical = colorimetric (semi-transparent) = color + metric + al

Formed by adding the productive suffix '-al' to the technical adjective 'colorimetric'; components 'color' and 'metric' are recognizable but the overall meaning is technical and may be unfamiliar to general learners.

Etymology

Colorimetrical combines color and the part -metric, like the words metric or meter, which means 'to measure', so you can think of it as a 'ruler for color'. That's why colorimetrical describes methods and tools used to measure and study colors.
