Morphology
lysergic = lyserg + ic
The sense is a figurative/metaphorical extension (describing a surreal, hallucinatory quality) that cannot be reliably derived by an average learner from the chemical name component and the suffix alone.
Etymology
Lysergic is also used to describe very dreamlike or hallucinatory scenes because it brings to mind LSD, a drug made from lysergic acid that can change how you see and feel. So calling a film or painting 'lysergic' means it feels like a vivid, strange dream.
