Relating to or characterized by a crisis; occurring at critical moments or decision points.
From Greek krisis (decision, judgment, critical moment) + -ic suffix. Related to crisis but more specific in suggesting the adjective form, though 'critical' is far more common.
Crisic is a rare word that almost lost the etymological competition to 'critical'—but both come from the same Greek root about moments of judgment, and this obscure adjective survives mainly in scientific or technical writing now.
