Of, relating to, or characteristic of a charlatan; fraudulent, deceptive, or pretending to have skills or knowledge one doesn't actually possess.
From charlatan (a fake or fraud) plus the suffix -ic, creating an adjective form. Charlatan itself comes from Italian ciarlatano, possibly from ciarlare meaning 'to chatter' or from the place Cereto.
The word charlatan originally meant an Italian street vendor who would chatter endlessly to sell fake remedies—it's the ancestor of modern snake oil salesmen and Instagram influencers selling dubious health products!
