Ebraick

/ɪˈbreɪɪk/ adjective

Definition

An archaic or obsolete term relating to Hebrew or the Hebrew language and people.

Etymology

From Middle English and Old English variants of 'Hebrew,' with '-ick' as an old adjectival suffix (like 'Hebraic'). This form is largely superseded by 'Hebraic' or 'Hebrew' in modern English.

Kelly Says

This word is a linguistic fossil—it shows how English speakers 500+ years ago used '-ick' endings like we use '-ic' today, and it nearly disappeared from written English.
