Morphology

Eucharistic = Eucharist (transparent) = Eucharist + ic

Formed directly from the noun 'Eucharist' with the adjectival suffix '-ic', so the meaning 'relating to the Eucharist' is directly derived.

Etymology

The word Eucharistic comes from Greek parts eu- ('good') and charis ('thanks' or 'grace'), and its original idea is 'thanksgiving'. So a Eucharistic service is the Communion service where people give thanks while sharing bread and wine.
