Morphology

transphilic = trans (semi-transparent) = trans + phil + ic

The adjective is formed by combining 'trans' with the Greek combining element meaning 'loving/affinity' (‑philic); the formation is logical but the combining form is somewhat technical and may be unfamiliar to average learners.

Etymology

The word transphilic puts together trans- meaning 'across' or 'on the other side', like in transport, and -philic meaning 'loving' or 'friendly'. So transphilic means being friendly and supportive of transgender people and their rights.
