Morphology
lithographic = lithography (semi-transparent) = litho + graph + ic
The form clearly relates to 'lithography' plus the adjectival suffix '-ic', but the specialized technical meaning is not fully predictable for many learners.
Etymology
The word lithographic comes from Greek parts litho- ('stone') and -graph ('write' or 'draw'). Artists once drew on flat stones to make prints, so lithographic describes things made by that stone-printing process.
