Morphology
priapic = Priapus (opaque) = priap + ic
Formed from the classical name 'Priapus' + the adjective suffix '-ic'; the root is obscure to average learners, so the meaning is not transparently derived from common English vocabulary.
Etymology
Priapic comes from the ancient Greek god Priapus, who was shown with a very large penis as a sign of 'fertility' and male power. So priapic describes things that look like a penis or that strongly show male sexuality.
