Morphology
politics = politic (semi-transparent) = polit + ics
The sense 'a set of beliefs or opinions' is related to the domain-denoting use but is a personal/attitudinal extension that is not strictly derivable from the morphemes.
Etymology
Politics comes from the Greek polis, which means 'city', and first meant how a city is governed. That is why we also use politics to mean a person's ideas or beliefs about how society should be run, or their political views.
