Morphology

cosmologic = cosmology (transparent) = cosmology + ic

Formed by adding the adjective-forming suffix '-ic' to 'cosmology', producing 'relating to cosmology' which is directly inferable.

Etymology

Cosmologic comes from the Greek root cosmos, meaning 'universe' or 'order', and the part -logic, which is like the 'study' part in cosmology. So, cosmologic means 'relating to the study or structure of the universe'.
