Etymology
Plasmic comes from the Greek plasma, meaning 'something formed', from plassein 'to form', and is related to plastic, which means 'able to be shaped'. A helpful way to remember the physics meaning is that scientists called a glowing, charged gas 'plasma' because it acts like a fluid that carries particles, so plasmic means 'relating to that charged, fluid-like state'.
