What does AEONIC mean in Scrabble?
adjective
literarypoetic
Lasting for an aeon or an immense stretch of time; vast and age-long in duration.
Writers reach for aeonic when ordinary words like long-lasting or ancient feel too small for what they describe, whether the slow grinding of geological time or the seemingly endless span of myth and legend. The word is built directly on aeon, the same root behind eternal and eon, and it keeps a deliberately grand, almost cosmic tone. Because of that weight, aeonic appears far more often in poetry and elevated prose than in ordinary description.
How AEONIC is used
