Surface Forms
Morphology
somatic = soma (semi-transparent) = somat + ic
Formed with the Greek combining form 'somat-' meaning 'body' plus '-ic'; the meaning 'relating to the body' follows regularly but the Greek form is not obvious to many learners.
Etymology
The word somatic comes from the Greek root soma, meaning 'body'. So somatic means 'of the body' not the mind, which is why doctors talk about 'somatic symptoms' like headaches or stomachaches.
