Morphology

glycosidic = glycoside (transparent) = glycoside + ic

Adjectival formation by adding the productive suffix '-ic' to 'glycoside' yields 'relating to a glycoside', a regular and directly interpretable derivation.

Etymology

Glycosidic comes from the root glyco-, from a Greek word meaning 'sweet' and 'sugar', and from glycoside, a name for a part where a sugar is attached to another part. So, glycosidic describes the 'sugar' bond or link that joins a sugar to something else.
