Relating to a cathedra, cathedral, or episcopal authority; characteristic of or pertaining to cathedral teaching or governance.
Cathedra plus the suffix -tic (variant of -tic used in academic terminology). This rare formation maintains classical Latin precision for describing cathedra-related concepts in formal contexts.
Medieval universities were 'cathedratic' in structure—knowledge literally flowed from a single authority figure sitting in a high chair, which is how we got the word 'lecture' (from lectern).
