Morphology
anesthetic = anesthesia (transparent) = an + esthet + ic
Formed by adding the adjectival suffix '-ic' to the concept of 'anesthesia' (loss of sensation), so the meaning is directly derived.
Etymology
Anesthetic (adjective) comes from the same Greek parts an- ('not') and aesthesia ('feeling'). So if something is anesthetic it makes you or an area 'without feeling', which is why it dulls pain or awareness.
