Relating to or characterized by allomorphs; describing how a word or language element changes form in different contexts.
From allomorph + -ic suffix. Developed as linguistic terminology in the 20th century to classify structural variations in language.
When linguists describe the relationship between 'walk,' 'walks,' and 'walked,' they might call these changes 'allomorphic variation'—it's the technical way of saying 'same word, different clothes.'
