Endocrinic

/ˌɛndoʊˈkrɪnɪk/ adjective

Definition

Of or pertaining to the endocrine system or its functions.

Etymology

Variant form combining 'endo-' + 'krinein' with the suffix '-ic', less common than 'endocrinal' or 'endocrine.'

Kelly Says

This is an older, more technical variant that you'd find in 19th-century medical texts—language itself evolves, and 'endocrine' eventually won out as the standard term.
