Camphoric

/kæmˈfɒrɪk/ adjective

Definition

Relating to, containing, or having the properties of camphor; resembling camphor.

Etymology

From camphor plus the suffix -ic (meaning 'relating to'). This adjective developed in 18th-century chemistry and medicine to describe camphor's chemical and physical properties.

Kelly Says

Scientists love the suffix -ic for naming properties (like 'acidic' or 'metallic'), and 'camphoric' is perfect because it covers both the chemical structure and the sensory experience—it's what you call something that has camphor's essence in it.
