Morphology
juridic = jurid + ic
Formed from the combining form 'jurid-' + '-ic'; learners who know legal vocabulary may infer 'relating to law', but 'jurid-' is not a standalone English base, so the relation is only partially transparent.
Etymology
Juridic comes from Latin parts jur-, which you see in justice and jury, meaning 'law', and dic- meaning 'to say' or 'declare'. So juridic means 'about the law' and the rules and systems that govern it.
