Morphology
semantic = semantics (transparent) = semant + ic
Formed by the common adjective-forming suffix '-ic' from the semant-/semantics base, so the meaning 'relating to meaning' is directly derivable.

Semantic comes from the Greek root sema meaning 'sign' or 'signal', like the English word 'sign'. So semantic is about the 'meaning' that words and symbols show.
