Aeonic

/iːˈɒnɪk/ adjective

Etymology

From aeon + -ic (adjective suffix). The most scientific and technical variant of aeon-related adjectives, preferred in academic and technical contexts.

Kelly Says

While 'aeonic' is the driest-sounding of these variants, it's what cosmologists use when discussing the early universe—'aeonic timescales' during the Big Bang. The plain sound hides cosmic drama.
