Morphology
monochromic = monochrome (semi-transparent) = mono + chrom + ic
The adjective is transparently formed from the base 'monochrome' plus the suffix '-ic', preserving the single-color meaning.
Etymology
Monochromic comes from the Greek parts mono- meaning 'one' and chroma meaning 'color', so it literally means 'one color' and you can see the same idea in the word monochrome. That's why monochromic describes something that has only one color or different shades of the same color.
