Morphology
lysergic = lyserg + ic
Formed from the specialized combining form 'lyserg-' plus the productive adjective suffix '-ic' (meaning 'relating to'), but the root is a technical chemical name unfamiliar to average learners.
Etymology
Lysergic comes from the chemical name lysergic acid, which scientists first found in ergot, a fungus that grows on 'rye'. So lysergic is used for things that come from that acid, such as certain drugs and chemical compounds.
