The "superlative" link takes the reader to the wrong anchor in the glossary. I don't know how to change this so can someone else do it. Steve
Surely the adjective here has precedence over the noun! — Hippietrail 09:30, 4 Feb 2005 (UTC)
One day I hope to see a dictionary that does not define the noun by using the identical adjective (sighs). cuddlyable3 of Wikipedia
Not really finding any citations, but Webster 1913 claims that electic is a synonym for eclectic. Equinox ◑ 02:11, 18 March 2012 (UTC)
- OED also has it. It's an earlier synonym of eclectic, having the same etymology but modelled after English elect. electic was also erroneously deleted as a misspelling in 2009. Casaba Howitzer (talk) 15:29, 26 October 2026 (UTC)
