Morphology
Platonistic = Platonism (transparent) = platon + istic
Formed from the noun 'Platonism' with a standard adjectival suffix '-istic', so the meaning 'relating to Platonism' is directly inferable.
Etymology
Platonistic comes from the name Plato and the ending -istic, which means 'related to'. It refers to the ideas of the famous thinker Plato, who said there are perfect 'forms' or 'ideas' behind the things we see, so a Platonistic view values those ideal models more than material objects.
