Anthroponomical

/ˌænθroʊnəˈmɪkəl/ adjective

Definition

Relating to anthroponomy; concerning human laws, customs, or the natural laws governing human life and conduct.

Etymology

From anthroponomy + -ical (variant adjective suffix). Anthroponomy itself combines anthropo- (human) + nomos (law), so this adjective refers to the science of human laws and customs.

Kelly Says

This word is rarely used today, but 'anthroponomical' principles underlie all social science—the study of how humans naturally organize themselves into societies with rules and norms.
