Morphology

cytoplasmatic = cytoplasm (transparent) = cytoplasm + atic

The adjective is directly formed from the noun 'cytoplasm' with an adjectival suffix, so the meaning 'relating to the cytoplasm' is predictable.

Etymology

Cytoplasmatic comes from cyto- meaning 'cell' and -plasm like in plasma, which you can think of as the cell's 'jelly' or 'soup'. So, cytoplasmatic describes something that is in or relates to the inside substance of a cell, the cytoplasm.
