Where it comes from
From odyle, odyl + -ic (suffix meaning of or pertaining to forming adjectives from nouns). Odyle, odyl is derived from od (borrowed from German Od, arbitrarily coined by the German scientist and philosopher Carl Reichenbach (1788–1869)) + Ancient Greek ῡ̔́λη (hū́lē, “wood; material, matter, substance”).
