OP academic, cosmetic, dogmatic, eclectic, endemic, elastic, organic, irenic (to pair with polemic), lexemic(!), paradigmatic(!!).
More and more innerestin.
I realise my eye performs no stop-and-look at the description of "an academic", but I would prolly re-read it if someone described my favourite nuncle ron as "a dogmatic"! There does not seem any ockham test I can do on this but simple custom. Does no-one else have any reservation about encountering some of these adjectival descriptions in the form of nouns? ~ I find that hard to believe.
