Morphology

analytic = analysis (transparent) = analyt + ic

The adjective is a straightforward derivation from 'analysis'/'analyze' with the productive suffix '-ic' meaning 'relating to', so the relation is predictable for learners.

Etymology

Analytic comes from Greek parts ana- 'up' and lyein 'to loosen', and it shares the root with analysis and analyze, which mean 'to break into parts'. So an analytic method in math breaks a problem into smaller parts and uses calculation to solve it.
