Morphology

humanics = human (semi-transparent) = human + ics

Formed by 'human' + the disciplinary suffix '-ics'; the connection to 'human' is clear but the modern specialized sense of practical interpersonal 'skills' is a contemporary extension and not an obvious generalization for all learners.

Etymology

The word humanics joins human ('people') with the ending -ics (as in physics and ethics), which turns a word into a subject or set of skills. So, humanics means practical 'people skills' like communication, empathy and teamwork that help you work well with others.
