Surface Forms
Morphology
Atlantic = atlant + ic
Although formed with the adjective-forming suffix '-ic', the base 'atlant-' is not a familiar English word, so the relation is not transparently inferable by typical learners.
Etymology
Atlantic as an adjective comes from the name of the Atlantic Ocean, which itself comes from the Greek for 'of Atlas'. So Atlantic describes places or things that border or belong to that ocean.
