Morphology
transdermal = dermal (transparent) = trans + derm + al
The adjective 'dermal' (relating to skin) plus the productive prefix 'trans-' (through/across) yields the meaning 'through the skin' in a straightforward way.
Etymology
Transdermal comes from the parts trans- meaning 'across' and derm meaning 'skin', the same root you see in dermatology. So a transdermal medicine goes 'across the skin', like a patch that lets the drug pass into the body.
