aramidic
|a-ra-mid-ic|
/ˌærəˈmɪdɪk/
related to aramid (aromatic polyamide) fibers
Etymology
'aramidic' originates from English, specifically the word 'aramid', where 'aramid' is a shortened form of 'aromatic polyamide'.
'aramid' was coined in the mid-20th century as a contraction of 'aromatic polyamide'; the adjective 'aramidic' was formed by adding the suffix '-ic' to denote 'relating to' aramids.
Initially, the root term referred directly to 'aromatic polyamides' as a class of synthetic fibers; over time the derived adjective has come to mean 'relating to or made of aramids' in modern technical usage.
