This appears to be an adj formed by the addition of -ικος [-IKOS] (making it a denominative) which ultimately is related to ἐφελκω. LSJ lists ἐφελκυστικός as
ἐφελκυστικός, ή, όν, [EFELKUSTIKOS] drawing on, attractive, τᾶς ψυχᾶς [TAS YUXAS] Hippod.ap.Stob.4.1.94; τὸ ε̄ .. γίνεται ἐ. τοῦ ν̄ [E. … GINETAI E. TOU N] Choerob.in Theod.2.38, cf. EM431.22, Eust.52.22. Adv. -κῶς [-KWS] Sch.Luc.VH2.25.
II. in later Gramm., Pass., attracted, suffixed, τὸ ν̄ ἐφελκυστικὸν γίνεται EM438.50, cf. Sch.D.T.p.465 H.

I'm also wondering where you found this since it doesn't seem to appear in the LXX, NT, Apostilic Fathers or Philo.
