Relating to the Dinaric Alps or the Dinaric region of southeastern Europe; also relating to a proposed racial or anthropological classification.
From Dinara, the highest peak of the Dinaric Alps in the Balkans + '-ic' suffix. Used in geography and historical anthropology.
Early 20th-century anthropologists created 'Dinaric' as a racial type, but the term is now mainly used safely in geography—it's a reminder that scientific-sounding classifications were sometimes pseudoscience dressed up in Latin.
