'strabismic' originates from New Latin, specifically the word 'strabismus', where the Greek root 'strab-' meant 'to squint' or 'to look obliquely'.

'strabismic' changed from the Greek word 'strabismos' to the Latin/Medieval Latin 'strabismus', and eventually became the English adjective 'strabismic' derived from that noun.

Initially, the root referred to 'squinting' or 'a turning of the eye', and over time it evolved into the modern adjectival sense 'relating to strabismus (misalignment of the eyes)'.
