exilic \eg-ZIL-ik, ek-SIL-\ adjective 1. pertaining to exile, especially that of the Jews in Babylon. Quotes However, Ovid can serve as an exilic model in a more subtle manner, as several chapters demonstrate in their exploration of a range of other, less obvious, Ovidian moves and poses. -- Jennifer Ingleheart, "Introduction," Two Thousand Years of Solitude, 2011 Origin Exilic entered English in the 1870s. It is a combination of the word exile and -ic, a suffix that forms adjectives from other parts of speech, occurring originally in Greek and Latin loanwords, as in poetic and metallic.
