gynecologic = gynecology (transparent) = gynecology + ic
Standard adjective formation from 'gynecology' with '-ic'; the spelling shortens to 'gynecologic', but the meaning 'relating to' is directly compositional.
Etymology
Gynecologic comes from the Greek root gynē meaning 'woman' and the ending -logy meaning 'the study of', as in biology. So, gynecologic describes medical care and health problems that affect women.
