Relating to or like a cyclopedia; comprehensive and covering a wide range of subjects.
From 'cyclopedia' plus the adjectival suffix '-ic,' meaning 'of or relating to.' This adjective form emerged in the 17th-18th centuries as cyclopedias became more common.
When something is described as 'cyclopedic,' it means it has that ambitious goal of being complete and covering everything—like a smartphone that tries to do every task, or a person who knows a little bit about everything.
