Morphology

algorithmic = algorithm (transparent) = algorithm + ic

The adjective is directly formed from the noun 'algorithm' with the productive suffix '-ic' meaning 'relating to', so the relation is clear to learners.

Etymology

Algorithmic comes from algorithm, which is named after the Persian scholar Al-Khwārizmī. An algorithm is like a 'recipe' of clear steps for calculation or problem solving, so algorithmic means 'using a set of steps or rules', especially in computing.
