Morphology

glycemic = glycemia (semi-transparent) = glycemia + ic

Formed regularly with the adjective-forming suffix '-ic' from the medical noun 'glycemia', but the base is technical and uses Greek combining forms unfamiliar to average learners.

Etymology

The word glycemic comes from the Greek root glyc- meaning 'sweet' and the ending -emic meaning 'in the blood'. So it literally means 'sugar in the blood', and you can see the same 'glyc-' in glucose, which is why glycemic describes blood sugar levels.
