Adjustmental

/ədʒʌstˈmɛntəl/ adjective

Definition

Relating to or concerning adjustment; of or pertaining to the process of adjusting or adapting.

Etymology

From 'adjustment' + -al suffix (forming adjectives). This is a formal, technical adjective combining the noun form with the relational suffix.

Kelly Says

You'll see 'adjustmental challenges' in old psychology and sociology texts—it's formal language for how people adapt to new circumstances, a term that's fallen out of favor in modern academic writing.
