Morphology

dietary = diet (transparent) = diet + ary

Clearly formed from the noun 'diet' plus the adjectival suffix '-ary', so the meaning 'relating to diet' is directly inferable.

Etymology

The word dietary comes from the common word diet, which originally meant a 'way of life' or daily routine that included what you ate. So dietary means 'relating to the food and drink a person regularly eats'.
