Relating to or characteristic of members of the bird family Campephagidae, particularly cuckoo-shrikes.
From 'Campephagidae' plus '-ine', a suffix used to create adjectives describing characteristics related to a biological family.
The '-ine' suffix is how scientists transform proper taxonomic names into descriptive adjectives—so 'equine' (horse-like) comes from the genus Equus, creating a whole hidden taxonomy in English adjectives.
