The adjective is regularly formed from the noun 'rhinology' by adding the adjectival suffix '-ic'.
Etymology
Rhinologic comes from Greek parts rhino- meaning 'nose' and -logy meaning 'study', the same rhino- you see in rhinoceros ('nose-horn'). So, rhinologic means 'about the nose' or used for the medical study and care of nose problems.
