Relating to or characteristic of anarchs or anarchism; lacking central authority or organization.
From anarch + -al suffix; 19th-century English adapting Greek roots with Latin-derived adjective formation.
While 'anarchic' suggests chaos and disorder, 'anarchal' technically just means 'without a ruler'—it's the difference between describing what anarchism causes versus what it fundamentally is.
