An archaic or rare form meaning 'relating to the air' or 'aerial,' emphasizing the air-like quality of something.
From 'aer-' (air) plus the adjective-forming suffix -ical, creating a variant of 'aerial.' It's an older English form less commonly used today.
While 'aerical' is rare in modern English, it appears in older poetry and literature as a more elaborate way of saying 'aerial'—writers used it to add a touch of classical elegance!
