Morphology
erotic = eros (semi-transparent) = erot + ic
The adjective is formed by a regular suffixation (-ic) from the Greek combining form erot-; the derivation is regular but the root is a learned combining form (not a common standalone English word), so it is not fully transparent to average learners.
Etymology
Erotic comes from the Greek name Eros, which means 'love' or a strong 'desire'. So, something described as erotic is meant to show or cause sexual desire.
