Morphology
hallucinogenic = hallucinogen (semi-transparent) = hallucin + ogenic
The adjective is built on the specialized noun 'hallucinogen' plus '-ic', so the meaning is partly inferable but not fully obvious to an average learner.
Etymology
Hallucinogenic comes from hallucin-, the same root as hallucination, which originally meant 'wandering in the mind' or 'dreaming'. The ending -genic means 'producing', like the word generate, so hallucinogenic describes something that 'produces' hallucinations.
