Decadic

/dɛˈkædɪk/ adjective

Definition

Relating to or based on the number ten; using or relating to a base-ten number system.

Etymology

From Latin 'decad-' (ten) + '-ic' (suffix meaning 'relating to' or 'characterized by'). This adjective describes anything based on or pertaining to the number ten, especially the decimal or base-ten numerical system.

Kelly Says

All our math is decadic because we have ten fingers—but people using other bases historically (like Babylonians with base-60 or Mayans with base-20) had completely different numerical thinking, showing how body morphology shapes mathematics.
