Morphology

quantic = quantity (opaque) = quant + ic

The formation with '-ic' normally yields 'relating to quantity', which is predictable, but the specialized mathematical sense is a technical narrowing not obvious to all learners.

Etymology

Quantic comes from the Latin root quant- meaning 'how much' or 'amount', the same root as quantity and quantum. A quantic is a polynomial where every term has the same total number of powers, so each part has an equal 'amount', which is why the word is about 'quantity' in math.
