Morphology

monadic = monad (opaque) = monad + ic

Although morphologically built from 'monad' + '-ic', the sense refers to specialized philosophical/mathematical/computer-science concepts that are not inferable by general learners from the base word alone.

Etymology

Monadic comes from the Greek root monad meaning 'a single unit', and it is related to mono- 'one'. So when philosophers talk about something as monadic, they mean it is a single, simple thing that cannot be divided.
