Relating to or characteristic of Chaldea, its people, language, culture, or achievements in ancient Mesopotamia.
From Latin 'Chaldaeus,' based on the Akkadian 'Kaldu.' The suffix '-ic' makes it an adjective to describe anything pertaining to the Chaldean civilization.
When medieval scholars said something was 'Chaldaic,' they were referencing a source of profound ancient wisdom—the Chaldaeans invented sophisticated systems of astronomy and mathematics that influenced Greek scholars and eventually all Western science.
