Think of something that belongs to the sky rather than to the ground. A meteor is the clearest case: a streak of light that arrives from somewhere above, blazes for a second, and leaves a piece of itself in a field.

meteoric 可以想成「跟天上有關的東西」。最清楚的例子就是流星：一道光從上面來，亮一下，然後把一塊東西留在地上。這個字的每一種用法都可以從這個場景長出來。問「從天上掉下來的是什麼」，答案是石頭、鐵，還有滲進地底的雨水。問「那道光看起來怎麼樣」，答案就是又快又亮、所有人都抬頭看的那種竄升。From the word’s history
The source records meteoric as meteor plus the adjective ending -ic, so the word literally means belonging to a meteor.
本批評證記錄 meteoric 由 meteor（流星）加上形容詞字尾 -ic 構成，字面就是「屬於流星的」，正好對應上面那個天上的畫面。
