Relating to or characteristic of a beglerbeg or a beglerbeglik (the jurisdiction of a beglerbeg).
Formed from beglerbeg with the suffix -lic, an English adaptation of the Turkish suffix -lik (meaning 'the place or jurisdiction of'). The adjective form allows the noun to modify other words.
English borrowed not just Ottoman titles but also Turkish grammatical suffixes like -lik, turning them into -lic in English. This shows how languages aren't just word-thieves—they steal grammar rules too when dealing with foreign administrative systems.
