Morphology

choleraic = cholera (transparent) = cholera + ic

Formed by adding the common adjectival suffix '-ic' to 'cholera', so 'relating to cholera' is directly predictable.

Etymology

Choleraic comes from cholera, which comes from the Greek chole 'bile'. Long ago people linked 'bile' with sudden stomach sickness, so choleraic means 'relating to or like cholera'.
