Morphology
veterinary = veterinarian (transparent) = veterin + ary
The adjective is formed with the productive English adjectival/relational suffix '-ary' from the veterinary/veterinarian root; its meaning 'relating to veterinarians or their practice' is directly inferred.
Etymology
Veterinary as an adjective comes from the same Latin root veterinarius, from veterinae meaning 'beasts', so veterinary describes things connected to the medical care of animals.
