Morphology

gravitic = gravity (transparent) = gravity + ic

The word 'gravitic' is transparently derived from 'gravity' with the suffix '-ic', indicating a relationship to gravity.

Etymology

The word gravitic comes from the part grav-, which means 'heavy' and is the same root as in gravity, and the ending -ic means 'related to'. So gravitic means 'related to or caused by gravity'.
