'Mongolic' originates from 'Mongol,' specifically the word 'Mongghul,' where 'Mong-' meant 'brave' and '-ghul' was a suffix used for people.

'Mongghul' transformed into the English word 'Mongol,' and eventually became the modern English word 'Mongolic.'

Initially, it referred to the Mongol people, but over time it evolved into its current meaning of relating to the Mongolic languages.
