Morphology

geometric = geometry (transparent) = geometry + ic

Formed by the productive adjective-forming suffix '-ic' from the noun 'geometry', so meaning 'relating to geometric shapes/patterns' is directly derivable.

Etymology

Geometric is easy to remember if you think of geometry and the roots geo- 'earth' and -metron 'measure'. Because geometry studies lines, circles and angles, geometric describes designs made of simple shapes and regular patterns.
