Morphology

fluorogenic = fluorogen (semi-transparent) = fluorogen + ic

Formed by adding the adjectival suffix '-ic' to the noun 'fluorogen', a standard nominal→adjective derivation.

Etymology

Fluorogenic comes from the parts fluoro- (as in fluorescent, meaning 'glow' or 'light') and -genic (meaning 'producing' or 'making'). So fluorogenic means something that 'produces a glow', like a substance that becomes bright after a chemical reaction.
