Morphology
pediatrics = pediatric (opaque) = ped + iatr + ics
The immediate base 'pediatric' is itself not transparently analyzable for most learners, and the addition of '-ics' forms a specialized field.
Etymology
Pediatrics comes from old Greek parts: ped- meaning 'child' and -iatric meaning 'healing' or 'medical care', not the ped in pedal which means 'foot'. So pediatrics literally means 'care of children', and that is why it is the branch of medicine for babies, children, and teens.
