Morphology

syndromic = syndrome (transparent) = syndrome + ic

Formed by adding the adjective-forming suffix '-ic' to 'syndrome', yielding 'relating to a syndrome', which is directly derivable.

Etymology

Syndromic comes from the Greek parts syn- 'together' and dromos 'running'. A syndrome is a set of symptoms that 'run together', so something syndromic describes a pattern of signs that appear together and help doctors find the problem.
