Morphology
epidemiologic = epidemiology (transparent) = epidemiology + ic
The adjective is formed by the standard suffix '-ic' from the noun 'epidemiology', so the relation and meaning are directly derivable.
Etymology
Epidemiologic comes from Greek parts: epi- meaning 'upon', demos meaning 'people', and -logy meaning 'study'. Think of epidemic, which is something 'upon the people', so epidemiologic is the study of health and disease among people and is used for data and research that show how illnesses spread in groups.
