Morphology

eudemonic = eudaemon (semi-transparent) = eu + demon + ic

The adjective is directly formed from a rare base (eudaemon) + -ic, but that base is obscure and the 'demon' element can mislead learners toward the unrelated common word 'demon'.

Etymology

Eudemonic comes from Greek parts eu- meaning 'good' and daimon meaning 'spirit', and the eu- part is the same as in euphoria. So, something eudemonic helps people live well and feel true happiness.
