Relating to or containing gabbro; having the characteristics of gabbro rock.
From 'gabbro' plus the adjective suffix '-ic,' a common geological suffix that means 'of or relating to.' The '-ic' suffix comes from Latin and Greek.
Geologists use gabbroic to describe any rock that resembles gabbro even if it's not perfectly pure gabbro—it's like calling something 'coffee-like' even if it's not 100% coffee!
