Morphology

Judaistic = Judaist (transparent) = Judaist + ic

Although used in specialized theological contexts (relating to Judaizers or emphasis on Mosaic law), the form is a regular derivation from 'Judaist' + '-ic' and remains predictable.

Etymology

Judaistic comes from the same root as Judah and Jewish, and in church history it described teachings that followed the 'laws of Moses'. So Judaistic is used for ideas or practices that stress following those old Jewish rules closely.
