Morphology
Judaic = Judaism (semi-transparent) = juda + ic
The suffix '-ic' clearly means 'relating to', but the root 'juda-' is a classical combining form (from Judaea/Jude) that may be unfamiliar in its form to many learners.
Etymology
Judaic comes from the name Judah, an ancient region and tribe in Hebrew history, and it is the same root you see in Jew and Judaism. So, Judaic means 'relating to Jews, their culture, or their religion'.
