technic
Skilled working method
Technic refers to technique—the mechanical skill or method used in an art or craft: piano technic, the technics of sculpture.
The word is somewhat formal and old-fashioned, more common in its plural form technics, which can also mean the study of industrial arts and applied sciences.
In practice, technique has largely displaced technic in everyday usage.
