Morphology
pediatric = pediatrics (transparent) = pediatr + ic
Formed by adding the adjective-forming suffix '-ic' to the specialty 'pediatrics', so the meaning 'relating to pediatrics/children's medical care' is directly derivable.
Etymology
The word pediatric comes from the Greek root paed-, from paidos, meaning 'child', and you can see the same root in pediatrician. So, pediatric means 'about children', especially in medical care.
