What does holic mean?

"Holic" is not a real word in the English language. It's a suffix that is often added to the end of words to create a new word that means "someone who is addicted to or obsessed with something."

Here are some examples:

* Workaholic: Someone who is addicted to working.

* Shopaholic: Someone who is addicted to shopping.

* Chocaholic: Someone who is addicted to chocolate.

* Alcoholic: Someone who is addicted to alcohol.

So, if you see a word ending in "holic," you can usually assume that it refers to someone who is obsessed with or addicted to something.
