mathematics = mathemat + ics
The suffix '-ics' clearly marks a field of study, but the combining form 'mathemat-' is not a standalone English word (learners more often know 'math' or 'mathematical'), so the relation is only partly obvious.
Etymology
Mathematics comes from the Greek word mathema meaning 'learning' or 'what is learned', and from the Greek word manthanein meaning 'to learn'. So, mathematics is the study of what we learn about numbers, shapes and patterns, and you can see the same root in the short word math.
