Morphology

cytosolic = cytosol (transparent) = cytosol + ic

Formed by regular suffixation of -ic to the noun 'cytosol', so its meaning 'relating to the cytosol' is directly predictable from the base.

Etymology

The word cytosolic comes from cyto- meaning 'cell' and -sol meaning 'liquid', like in solution. So cytosolic describes something that is in the fluid part of a cell.
