Morphology
aerobatic = aerobatics (semi-transparent) = aero + bat + ic
The combining form 'aero-' and the suffix '-ic' help infer 'relating to air maneuvers', but the internal element is not a standalone English word, so the relation is only partly obvious to learners.
Etymology
Aerobatic comes from aero- ('air') and the idea of an acrobat, a skilled performer who does jumps and flips. So aerobatic means making skillful, showy moves in the air.
