It’s the adjective form of dragon. So if something is draconic, it’s dragon-like.

@Dan78 so that word would correctly be more like..."draGonian"

right?

Dan78 · 46-50, M

@Platoscave No, the Latin word for dragon is Draco (or something like that).

@Dan78 So maybe the mythical beast is named after the dictator? Or vice versa?

In which case the word would be "draGonian"...Or "draGo"???

LOL
