::: It's a Greek third declension noun. This pattern is pretty common: dogma - dogmatic, drama - dramatic, trauma - traumatic. I don't care what happens with neologisms like ragismic. "Much more common" no it's not. A quick look at some literature makes this pretty clear. – [[User:Sintel|Sintel🎏]] ([[User_talk:Sintel|talk]]) 13:16, 20 June 2025 (UTC)
