Learned borrowing from Latin sophisticus, borrowing of Ancient Greek σοφιστικός (sophistikós). Equivalent to sophist + -ic and sophism + -istic.

Used in a sentence

  • Rather, to use Whitman’s phrase, Sophokles “thought through” a great deal more of the sophistic than their attacks on religion or their fascination with religion.
  • The luminaries of the ‘first sophistic’—Philostratus cites Gorgias, Critias, and others—treated, we are told, abstract philosophical themes.
