Morphology

charismatic = charisma (transparent) = charisma + tic

Formed by adding the common adjectival suffix '-tic' to 'charisma', so the meaning 'having charisma' is directly derived.

Etymology

Charismatic comes from the Greek word charisma, which means 'gift' and from charis meaning 'grace'. So a charismatic person seems to have a natural 'gift' or 'grace' that draws people to them and explains their strong charm.
