Root Explanation

Dyadics is derived from "dyad" (from Greek "duas", meaning two) and the suffix "-ics" (meaning related to or pertaining to). The term refers to concepts or studies that involve pairs or groups of two.

Memory Tip

Think of 'dyad' meaning 'two' and '-ics' indicating a field of study, so dyadics relates to the study of pairs or two-part systems.
