Friesic

/friːˈeɪzɪk/ adjective

Definition

Relating to Frisia, its people, language, or culture (variant form of Frisian).

Etymology

From 'Frisia' plus the suffix '-ic'. An alternative form to 'Frisian' using the Latin '-ic' ending instead of '-an'.

Kelly Says

Friesic is the rarer variant of Frisian—it shows how English sometimes offers multiple endings for similar meanings, and languages gradually standardize one as 'correct' while others fade away.
