Morphology
military = milit + ary
Formed from a non-productive Latin combining form plus '-ary'; the nominal sense (the armed forces) is historically derived and not transparently predictable from English base words.
Etymology
Military comes from the old Latin word miles, which means 'soldier', and the same root appears in words like militant and militia. So as a noun, the military is the organized group of soldiers and the armed forces.
