Morphology

demographic = demography (transparent) = demography + ic

The adjective is a straightforward adjectival formation from 'demography' with the productive suffix '-ic', so the meaning 'relating to populations' follows standard derivational logic.

Etymology

The word demographic comes from the Greek demos meaning 'people' and -graphy meaning 'writing about', so it means 'about people'. That's why we use demographic to describe population features or changes, such as age groups or size.
