Morphology
analgesic = analgesic (opaque) = an + alges + ic
The noun is a conversion of the adjective 'analgesic', but the adjective itself is a learned classical formation based on a pain root that is not transparent to most learners.
Etymology
Analgesic comes from the Greek parts an- 'without' and algos 'pain', so an analgesic is a medicine that makes you 'without pain' and takes pain away without putting you to sleep.
