Morphology
ascorbic = ascorbic acid (opaque) = ascorb + ic
The root 'ascorb' is not a recognizable standalone English word, and the suffix '-ic' does not transparently convey the meaning related to vitamin C.
Etymology
Ascorbic comes from the parts a- meaning 'without' and scorbut meaning 'scurvy', so it means 'without scurvy'. That's why ascorbic is used for vitamin C and for things that help prevent scurvy.
