Morphology

Masonic = mason (transparent) = mason + ic

Formed by the productive adjective-forming suffix '-ic' on 'mason', so the meaning 'relating to masons/Freemasonry' is directly derivable.

Etymology

Masonic comes from mason, which means 'stone worker' or builder. Early groups of masons became the Freemasons, so Masonic now means 'relating to Freemasons or Freemasonry'.
