Antonomastical

/ˌæntənəˈmæstɪkəl/ adjective

Definition

An alternative, more formal form of antonomastic; relating to the use of antonomasia in language or rhetoric.

Etymology

A variant of antonomastic formed with the suffix '-al' instead of just '-ic,' creating a more elaborate adjectival form. This type of double-suffix variation was common in English scholarly terminology, where both '-ic' and '-ical' forms coexist (as in 'logic' vs. 'logical').

Kelly Says

The existence of both 'antonomastic' and 'antonomastical' shows how English loves to offer multiple ways to say the same thing—especially in academic writing! Older English texts preferred the '-ical' ending for formality, which is why you'll see it in 18th-century rhetoric handbooks but rarely in modern writing.
