Morphology

zoonotic = zoonosis (transparent) = zoon + otic

Formed by a standard medical adjective formation from 'zoonosis' (relating to diseases transmitted from animals), so the relation is directly derivable from the base.

Etymology

Zoonotic comes from the Greek root zoon meaning 'animal', the same root you see in zoo and zoology. So a zoonotic disease is one that passes from animals to people.
