Morphology

phonologic = phonology (transparent) = phonology + ic

The adjective is directly formed from the noun 'phonology' by a regular adjectival suffix '-ic', so its meaning is clearly 'relating to phonology'.

Etymology

The word phonologic begins with phon- meaning 'sound' or 'voice', the same root you see in phone. The ending -logy means 'study', so phonologic is about the study or system of a language's speech sounds.
