Morphology
nostalgic = nostalgia (transparent) = nostalg + ic
Formed by adding the productive adjective suffix '-ic' to the noun 'nostalgia'; learners who know 'nostalgia' can readily infer 'nostalgic'.
Etymology
Nostalgic comes from two Greek parts: nostos meaning 'return home' and algos meaning 'pain', so you can think of it as an 'ache' for home or the past. So to feel nostalgic is to have a gentle, often sad 'ache' when you remember earlier times.
