The letters '-ic' aren't a root. Instead, they're a suffix that comes into English by way of ancient, classical Latin and the even earlier, ancient, classical Greek. In Latin, the suffix is '-icus'. In the earlier Greek, the suffix is '-ikos'. Either way, the meaning is the same: 'having the character or form of' or 'of or relating to'.
