Morphology
ceramic = ceram + ic
The adjective is built from a Greek combining form 'ceram-' plus the suffix '-ic'; the root is not a standalone English word, so learners cannot reliably infer the meaning from its parts.
Etymology
Ceramic comes from the old Greek word keramos, which means 'potter's clay' or 'pottery'. So when something is ceramic it is made from clay that is shaped and then heated until it becomes hard, like tiles or porcelain.
