Anecdotical

/ˌænɪkˈdɑːtɪkəl/ adjective

Definition

Of, relating to, or having the nature of anecdotes; based on or consisting of brief personal narratives rather than systematic study.

Etymology

From anecdote with the suffix -ical, creating an elaborated adjective form. This Latinate suffix was popular in older English for forming adjectives, particularly in specialized discourse.

Kelly Says

'Anecdotical' is essentially an archaic or rare variant of 'anecdotal'—it shows how English often develops competing forms for the same concept, with one eventually winning out (here, 'anecdotal' won decisively by the 20th century).
