Relating to or describing a yellowish compound derived from anthracene, often used in dyes and pigments.
From anthracene + Latin 'flavus' meaning yellow. The suffix '-ic' indicates the adjective form, literally meaning 'of or relating to anthracene that is yellow.'
The word 'flavic' comes straight from Latin 'flavus'—the same root gives us 'flavonoids' in healthy plants and 'flavor' (because colorful foods taste good to us psychologically!).
