Morphology
misogynistic = misogynist (transparent) = miso + gyn + ic
The adjective is transparently formed from the noun 'misogynist' by adding the adjectival suffix '-ic', so its meaning directly relates to hatred or prejudice against women.
Etymology
Misogynistic comes from Greek parts miso- meaning 'hatred' and gynē meaning 'woman'. You can see gynē in the word gynecologist, a doctor for women, which helps you remember the 'woman' part. So, misogynistic describes words or actions that show 'hatred' or unfair feelings toward women.
