Word origin
[1895–1900; tor(us) + -ic]This word is first recorded in the period 1895–1900. Other words that entered Englishat around the same time include: apothecaries' measure, calling card, flamenco, frame of reference, slapstick-ic is a suffix forming adjectives from other parts of speech, occurring originally inGreek and Latin loanwords (metallic; poetic; archaic; public) and, on this model, used as an adjective-forming suffix with the particular senses“having some characteristics of” (opposed to the simple attributive use of the basenoun) (balletic; sophomoric); “in the style of” (Byronic; Miltonic); “pertaining to a family of peoples or languages” (Finnic; Semitic; Turkic)
