Etymology

From p + -adic. The letter p follows common number theory usage in representing an arbitrary prime number; the suffix -adic signals that properties of the number p (generally, those due to its being prime, and specifically those of a specified p) are fundamental to the theory and determine the properties of the resulting construction.
