Morphology
anabolic = anabolism (transparent) = ana + bol + ic
Formed from the noun 'anabolism' with the productive adjectival suffix '-ic' meaning 'relating to', so the adjective's meaning is directly derived from the base.
Etymology
Anabolic comes from Greek parts ana- meaning 'up' and ballein meaning 'to throw', giving the image of 'building up'. So an anabolic process in the body is one that 'builds up' larger, complex molecules from smaller ones, for example when you grow muscle.
