Suffix

Audio: LL-Q1860 (eng)-Flame, not lame--adic.wav
Etymology: Back-formation from monadic, etc., from Ancient Greek -άς (-ás) (genitive -άδος (-ádos)) + -ικός (-ikós) (English -ad + -ic). Compare related adicity and Latinate -ary. The algebraic sense is by analogy with p-adic, since ℤ₍ₚ₎ equipped with the (p)-adic topology passes to the ring of p-adic numbers under the operation of completion. Etymology templates: {{back-formation|en|monadic}} Back-formation from monadic, {{der|en|grc|-άς}} Ancient Greek -άς (-ás), {{back-formation|en|p-adic|notext=1}} p-adic Head templates: {{head|en|suffix|cat2=adjective-forming suffixes}} -adic
