Surface Forms
Morphology
gastric = gastro (semi-transparent) = gastr + ic
The adjective is formed regularly from the root 'gastr-/gastro-' + '-ic', but the root is a Greek combining form (not a common standalone English word), so the relation is not fully transparent to general learners.
Etymology
The word gastric comes from the Greek root gaster, which means 'stomach'. You can see the same root in gastronomy, a word about food and eating, so gastric means 'relating to the stomach'.
