Relating to or characteristic of celibacy; pertaining to the practice of abstaining from marriage and sexual relations.
From Latin 'caelebs' (unmarried) + '-ic' suffix (relating to). This adjectival form was created in English religious and philosophical texts of the 17th-18th centuries.
The '-ic' suffix transforms nouns into adjectives describing their qualities—the celibatic life is to celibacy what the 'democratic' process is to democracy.
