Morphology
heterogeneous = heterogen (opaque) = hetero + gen + eous
The suffix '-eous' forms adjectives, but the connection to 'heterogen' is not straightforward for learners.
Etymology
Heterogeneous comes from the parts hetero- meaning 'different' and -genous meaning 'kind', like in genre. So a heterogeneous group is made of 'different kinds' of things.
