Morphology

genomic = genome (transparent) = genome + ic

The adjective is a regular formation from the noun 'genome' with the productive suffix '-ic', so its meaning 'relating to the genome' is directly inferable.

Etymology

Genomic comes from gene ('a unit that carries traits') and the ending -ome ('a complete set'), like in biome. So genomic means 'relating to the whole set of genes'.
