Danic

/ˈdænɪk/ adjective

Definition

Relating to or characteristic of Denmark or Danish culture, people, or language; Danish.

Etymology

From 'Dania' (Latin for Denmark) plus the suffix '-ic' (forming adjectives). This is a variant or archaic form of 'Danish.'

Kelly Says

While 'Danish' is the common word today, 'danic' shows how English borrowed classical Latin roots for place names — 'Dania' for Denmark appears in old maps and formal geographic texts.
