Morphology
cryptanalytic = cryptanalysis (transparent) = crypt + analysis + ic
Formed by adding the adjectival suffix '-ic' to 'cryptanalysis', so the meaning 'relating to cryptanalysis' is directly derived.
Etymology
Cryptanalytic comes from two parts, crypt- and analytic. Crypt- comes from an old Greek word meaning 'hidden', as in cryptic, and analytic comes from a word meaning 'to break apart', as in analysis, so cryptanalytic means studying or 'breaking apart' hidden messages and codes.
