Morphology

extropic = extropy (transparent) = extropy + ic

Formed by the noun 'extropy' plus the adjectival suffix '-ic', clearly meaning 'relating to extropy'.

Etymology

Extropic was created as the opposite of entropy, using ex- meaning 'out' or 'away'. So to be extropic is to move 'away from disorder' toward more order, growth and continuous improvement, which is why the word names the idea of steady progress.
