Glyptic is an adjective that means related to carving or engraving.
Our word of the day came from the Greek word gluptikos (GLOOP tea kose) which means ‘carver.’ The word migrated to English in the early 19th century and is today used to describe anything related to carving or engraving.
My daughter’s glyptic activities on the weekend have begun to take up a great deal of her time. I only hope her carving doesn’t distract her from her schoolwork.
