Morphology

podiatric = podiatry (transparent) = podiatry + ic

Adjective formation from the noun 'podiatry' with the productive suffix '-ic', yielding a meaning 'relating to podiatry/feet' that learners can infer.

Etymology

Podiatric comes from Greek parts podi- meaning 'foot' and -iatric meaning 'medical care', the same care part you see in pediatric. So podiatric means medical treatment or care for the feet.
