Angelican

/ænˈdʒɛlɪkən/ adjective

Definition

Of or relating to angels; having the nature or qualities of an angel.

Etymology

Variant or related form to 'angelical', using the suffix '-an' instead of '-al' to create an adjective describing something angelic.

Kelly Says

The English language often has multiple suffixes that do the same job—'-ical', '-al', '-an'—which is why we have 'angel', 'angelic', 'angelical', and 'angelican', all meaning roughly the same thing.
