Adjectional

/ˌædʒɛkˈʃoʊnəl/ adjective

Definition

Relating to or involving adjection; of the nature of adding or joining something to something else.

Etymology

From Latin 'adjectio' (an adding) plus the English suffix '-al' (relating to). This creates an adjective describing the process or quality of joining things together.

Kelly Says

This is a rare word because English prefers 'adjunctive' instead—it shows how languages constantly shuffle which words survive in actual use, and some perfectly logical formations just lose the popularity contest over time.
