Morphology
italic = Italy (opaque) = ital + ic
Although '-ic' marks 'of or relating to' a place (Italy), the current sense 'slanted handwriting/type' is a specialised semantic extension not predictable from the base.
Etymology
Italic comes from a word that meant 'of Italy', the same root as Italian. Because the Italian style used letters that lean to the right for emphasis, we call any slanted text 'italic'.
