Relating to or affected by gastritis, which is inflammation of the stomach lining.
From 'gastritis' (stomach inflammation), combining Greek 'gastro-' (stomach) and Latin '-itis' (inflammation). The adjective form developed in medical terminology.
The '-itis' suffix is everywhere in medicine—bronchitis, dermatitis, arthritis—all meaning inflammation; 'gastritic' is just the adjective way of saying 'involving stomach inflammation,' and it's rarer than simply saying 'gastritis!'
