Autarkical

/ɔːˈtɑːrkɪkəl/ adjective

Definition

A less common variant of autarkic, meaning relating to or characterized by autarky and economic self-sufficiency.

Etymology

From autarkic + -al suffix, creating a double-suffix adjective (autark-ic-al) that's technically valid but redundant in English.

Kelly Says

Autarkical is a linguistic oddity—technically correct but never used because autarkic already works perfectly, showing how English doesn't always need every grammatically possible word.
