Morphology
vibranium = vibration (semi-transparent) = vibran + ium
Formed from a stem associated with 'vibration' plus the elemental suffix '-ium'; the structure signals a metal related to vibration/energy but the specific extraordinary properties are fictional and not predictable from general English.
Etymology
Vibranium is a made-up metal name from comic books and films, formed from vibrate ('to move quickly back and forth') and the metal ending -ium. So it sounds like a real metal that works with vibrations and energy, which fits its meaning as a very strong metal that can absorb energy.
