Morphology

sodomitic = sodomite (semi-transparent) = sodomite + ic

Morphologically derived from 'sodomite' + '-ic', but the sense is a figurative, pejorative extension ('morally corrupt') not strictly entailed by the literal base.

Etymology

Sodomitic comes from the Bible city Sodom and originally means 'relating to' sodomy, and a helpful way to remember its modern use is that people have long used the word as a strong insult for things they see as morally wrong or perverse. So, sodomitic can be used figuratively to describe actions or ideas that are judged corrupt or depraved.
