Morphology
doxastic = dox + astic
The combining form 'dox-' (relating to belief) is not a standalone English word and the adjective is a specialized philosophical term, so learners cannot reliably infer meaning from its parts.
Etymology
The word doxastic comes from the Greek root doxa, meaning 'opinion' or 'belief', and you can see the same root in orthodox ('right belief'). So doxastic describes things that are about people's beliefs.
