'agric' originates from the English word 'agriculture', which is derived from the Latin word 'agricultura', where 'agri-' meant 'field' and 'cultura' meant 'cultivation'.

'agricultura' transformed into the Old French word 'agriculture', and eventually became the modern English word 'agriculture', from which 'agric' is a shortened form.

Initially, it meant 'field cultivation', and over time it evolved into its current meaning of 'agriculture'.
