Relating to or having the properties of an anchor, or resistant to anchoring or being held in place.
From 'anchor' plus the Greek suffix '-ic' (relating to). The term was developed to describe materials, substances, or conditions that relate to anchoring principles or behaviors in physical systems.
Materials scientists use 'anchoic' to describe surfaces designed to absorb sound or reduce reflections—like the foam on spacecraft and submarines that prevents echoes and helps equipment operate more stealthily!
