Forming an adjective from the noun 'semiotics' with the productive suffix '-ic' is a regular and clear morphological process.
Etymology
Semiotic comes from the Greek root semeion, which means 'sign'. So semiotic is about signs and symbols — like traffic signs, pictures, or gestures — and how they create meaning.
