Morphology
hyperbaric = baric (semi-transparent) = hyper + bar + ic
Adding hyper- to the technical adjective baric is a straightforward prefixation, but the base word itself is specialized.
Etymology
The word hyperbaric comes from two parts: hyper- meaning 'over', as in hyperactive, and baric from a root meaning 'pressure', like the 'barometer' that measures pressure. So hyperbaric describes a place or treatment with 'higher than normal' air pressure.
