Relating to or resembling a stringed musical instrument or lyre; connected to the playing or sounds of stringed instruments.
From Latin fidicen (lyre player) and -al (adjective suffix). Fidicen comes from fides (lyre or fiddle), connecting music to the concept of faith or harmony.
That word fides meant both 'faith' and 'lyre' shows how Romans connected music and trust—both require harmony, agreement, and patterns you can rely on to repeat.
