Morphology

eclamptic = eclampsia (transparent) = eclampsia + ic

Formed from the medical noun 'eclampsia' plus the productive adjectival suffix '-ic', so the relational meaning is directly derived.

Etymology

Eclamptic comes from the Greek parts ek- 'out' and lambanein 'to take', and it originally meant a sudden 'seizure' or attack. So eclamptic describes the sudden, dangerous seizures that can happen during pregnancy.
