The word 公的な is formed from the kanji 公 (こう), which originally meant "public" or "official," and is related to the concept of the "common good." The 的 (teki) is a suffix indicating relation or quality, similar to "-ic" or "-al" in English. The な (na) at the end is the adjectival suffix. Therefore, 公的な essentially means "having the quality of being official" or "related to the public."
