academic
Usage Note
Teorico contrasts with pratico (practical) in everyday academic and professional discourse. It can also be used as a noun — il teorico means 'the theorist.' The stress falls on the antepenultimate syllable, which surprises English speakers expecting 'teo-REE-co.'
Examples
"È un approccio puramente teorico."
Natural Translation
It is a purely theoretical approach.
