Morphology
glycolytic = glycolysis (transparent) = glycolysis + lytic
Regular adjectival derivation from the noun 'glycolysis' using the productive suffix '-lytic' to mean 'relating to glycolysis'.
Etymology
Glycolytic comes from the parts glyco- meaning 'sugar' and -lysis meaning 'breaking'. So it means 'breaking sugar', which fits because glycolytic processes break glucose to make quick energy in cells.
