Relating to or of the nature of a brocard; expressing a legal maxim or principle.
Formed from 'brocard' with the addition of '-ic' (a suffix forming adjectives meaning 'of or relating to'). It directly corresponds to the legal meaning of 'brocard.'
The '-ic' suffix (also '-ical') is one of the most productive ways English turns nouns into adjectives—from 'history' we get 'historic,' from 'magic' we get 'magic,' so 'brocard' naturally becomes 'brocardic' when used adjectivally.
