Morphology
crucify = cross (semi-transparent) = cruci + ify
The meaning 'put to a cross / put to death on a cross' is directly related to 'cross' + the verb-forming suffix '-ify', but the combining form 'cruci-' is not a standalone English word, so the morphological link may not be fully obvious to learners.
Etymology
Crucify comes from the Latin words crux 'cross' and figere 'to fix', so it originally meant to 'fix to a cross' as a way to kill someone.
