Is Deflicted a real word??

Question

My brother was reading the dictionary (dont ask why, i have no idea!!) and he came across the 'F's and got to the word 'Flict' and i called him 'Deflicted' (play on owrds thing, ya know!! lol) but then my dad was like 'thats not a word!!' so i thought id come on here and ask cause i couldnt find it in the dictionary!! So, is 'Deflicted' a real word??

Answer 1

I use if quite a bit. That makes two people, so it's officially a word. It's also in the urban dictionary.

Answer 2

You were probably thinking of the word "defective," which means, having defects, or faults, not functioning correctly.

There is also the word, "deflect," which means to cause to turn aside, bend, or deviate.

Flict is not a word. Inflict is a word meaning to deal out; "flict" is part of a word. You also find it in conflict, which, as a noun, is some kind of ordeal with opposing forces and, as a verb, means to BE in opposition. But, "flict" alone is not a word.

And, last, DEFLICT is also NOT a word.

Answer 3

Deflected, is a real word, Deflicked is not. Try looking for:
ANTIDISESTABLISHMENTARIANISM

See if it is in your dictionary. It is of course a real word, even though it appears to be self cancelling.

Apparently, it's a modern technical slang term. See this website:
