Morphology

Korahitic = Korahite (semi-transparent) = Korah + ite + ic

The noun sense is derived from the same denominal/adjectival formation (ultimately Korah → Korahite → Korahitic); the structural relation is regular even if the noun is specialized or archaic in use.

Etymology

Korahitic comes from the biblical name Korah and the family name Korahite. A Korahitic is 'a person from Korah's family', often one of the temple singers in the Bible, so the word names someone who belongs to that group.
