Morphology
metacognitive = cognitive (semi-transparent) = meta + cognit + ive
The word clearly combines the academic prefix meta- with cognitive, but the specialized meaning 'relating to awareness of one's own thinking' is not fully predictable for an average learner.
Etymology
Metacognitive combines meta- meaning 'about' and cognitive from a root that means 'to know', the same root you see in knowledge and recognize. So, metacognitive means 'thinking about your own thinking', which is why metacognitive skills help you learn and solve problems.
