Morphology
lymphocytic = lymphocyte (transparent) = lymph + cyte + ic
Formed by the adjectival suffix '-ic' on the noun 'lymphocyte', so the meaning is directly 'relating to lymphocytes'.
Etymology
Lymphocytic comes from lymph meaning 'clear body fluid', plus -cyte meaning 'cell' and -ic which makes it an adjective. So lymphocytic literally means 'about lymph cells', which is why we use it for things that involve this type of white blood cell.
