Relating to or characteristic of an anthology; suitable for or compiled like an anthology.
From Greek 'anthos' (flower) + '-logia' (study, collection) + '-ical' (of or relating to). An anthology originally meant a collection of poems like flowers gathered in a bouquet.
The word 'anthology' comes from the image of gathering flowers—ancient Greeks called poetry collections 'anthologia' because they were arranging beautiful pieces like you'd arrange flowers, so 'anthological' literally means arranged like a bouquet!
