Morphology

astronomic = astronomy (transparent) = astronom + ic

The suffix '-ic' is commonly used to form adjectives meaning 'related to' or 'pertaining to', making the transformation from 'astronomy' to 'astronomic' clear.

Etymology

Astronomic comes from the Greek root astron meaning 'star', the same root you see in astronomy, so astronomic describes things that belong to the science of stars and space.
