Compare earlier obstetrical adj., obstetricious adj.Association with words in -ic suffix has led to the formation of such derivatives as obstetrist n., etc.

Originally: of or relating to midwifery; of or relating to childbirth or birth. Later: spec. of or relating to obstetrics. Also in extended and figurative use.
