Geotic

/dʒiːˈɑtɪk/ adjective

Definition

Relating to or derived from the earth, soil, or earthly materials.

Etymology

From Greek 'geo-' (earth) + '-otic' (relating to). This is an older, less common adjective form referring to things of or from the earth.

Kelly Says

While 'geotic' is rarely used in modern science, medieval alchemists and natural philosophers used it to describe substances they believed came from or were influenced by earth elements. It reflects an older way of thinking about how Earth's materials had special properties.
