Morphology
spectroscopic = spectroscopy (semi-transparent) = spectro + scopy + ic
Formed by adding the adjective-forming suffix '-ic' to 'spectroscopy' to mean 'relating to spectroscopy', a regular and predictable derivation.
Etymology
The word spectroscopic comes from spectro-, from spectrum meaning 'an image or the spread of light', and -scopic, like microscope, meaning 'to look'. So spectroscopic work is a way of 'looking' at how light or other waves show what a substance is made of.
