Resembling, containing, or relating to a chasm; characterized by a deep gap or opening.
From Greek 'chasma' (χάσμα, gaping mouth) combined with the adjectival suffix '-ic.' The suffix '-ic' comes from Latin and Greek and is one of the most productive adjective-forming suffixes in English, appearing in words like 'cosmic,' 'seismic,' and 'academic.'
The word 'chasmic' appears frequently in geological terminology and Victorian literature, where writers loved describing dramatic landscapes with words like 'chasmic depths' and 'chasmic voids'!
