pythonic = Python (transparent) = python + ic
Formed by the productive adjective-forming suffix '-ic' added to the name 'Python', yielding 'related to Python' (programming), which is a direct and regular derivation.
Etymology
The word pythonic comes from the programming language Python, which its creator named after the British comedy group Monty Python rather than the snake. So, to call code pythonic is to say it follows Python's 'clear, simple, and natural' style.
