Morphology
hydrodynamics = hydrodynamic (semi-transparent) = hydro + dynamic + s
The noun is formed from the adjective 'hydrodynamic' with a plural-looking -s, but the resulting field term is specialized and not fully predictable from the parts alone.
Etymology
The word hydrodynamics comes from hydro- meaning 'water' and dynamic meaning 'force' or 'movement', like the hydro- in hydrogen and the everyday word dynamic. So, hydrodynamics is the study of the forces and movement of water and other liquids.
