History is the "base" or "root" word for historic.

the suffix "-ic" turns the noun "history" into the adjective "historic".

This can be proved by looking at other nouns that can take "-ic".

"idea" becomes "idyllic"

"geography" becomes "geographic"

"phobia" becomes "phobic", so "arachnophobia" becomes "arachnophobic" etc.
