Morphology
homeostatic = homeostasis (transparent) = homeo + stasis + ic
Formed by adding the adjectival suffix '-ic' to the noun 'homeostasis', so the meaning 'relating to homeostasis' is directly derived.
Etymology
The word homeostatic comes from Greek parts homeo- and -stasis, where homeo- means 'same' and -stasis means 'standing still', and you can think of static as 'not moving'. So, homeostatic describes a system that keeps the inside of the body 'stable' or 'the same', like how your body keeps temperature steady.
