hysteretic
- adjective

- Specialized
- The folding-unfolding cycle was thus hysteretic, an indication that work was dissipated.
- hysteretic damping

- equivalent hysteretic
Examples
-
Hysteretic losses are created from both the low-frequency flexing cycle from rolling down the road and high-frequency cycling due to the minute deformations of the tread surface by the road, a phenomenon associated with tire patch squirm.

Morphology
hysteretic = hysteresis (transparent) = hyster + etic
The adjective is a predictable adjectival formation meaning 'relating to hysteresis'; learners who know 'hysteresis' can infer this meaning.
Etymology
Hysteretic comes from the scientific word hysteresis, which comes from the Greek root hyster- meaning 'later' or 'to come after'. So a hysteretic response 'lags behind' and shows a delayed reaction to changes.
