Morphology

psoriatic = psoriasis (opaque) = psor + iatic

The suffix '-iatic' is not a standard English suffix, and the root 'psor' does not form a recognizable English word.

Etymology

Psoriatic comes from the Greek word psora, which means 'itch', and the ending -tic, which means 'relating to'. So psoriatic describes something affected by psoriasis, the itchy, scaly skin condition.
