Morphology
radiometric = metric (semi-transparent) = radio + metr + ic
The word is formed by adding radio- to metric, so the meaning is mostly predictable, but it is a specialized scientific term.
Etymology
Radiometric comes from the parts radio- meaning 'ray' and -metric meaning 'measure', the same idea you see in the word meter. So radiometric means 'measuring radiation' and is used for tools and methods that measure rays or radioactivity.
