What does TYPIC mean in Scrabble?
adjective
archaic
Typical; representative of a type or class; serving as a symbol or pattern of something else.
Typic once served as the everyday adjective where modern English now prefers typical, and the two words share the same Greek root meaning a pattern or impression. Older scientific, medical and theological writing used typic to describe a case that stood as a clear example of its class, or a figure understood as a symbol of something beyond itself. The word survives today mainly as a curiosity noted in historical dictionaries rather than as a term anyone would choose in ordinary writing. Typical eventually displaced typic almost entirely, leaving the shorter form to sound distinctly old-fashioned.
