Morphology
monistic = monist (semi-transparent) = mon + ist + ic
The adjective is built in a standard way from the noun 'monist' with the suffix '-ic'.
Etymology
The word monistic comes from the root mono- which means 'one', as in monarch ('one ruler') or monopoly ('one seller'). So monistic describes the idea that reality is ultimately from a single substance or principle, a single source behind everything.
