Buncal

/ˈbʌŋkəl/ adjective

Definition

Relating to or resembling a bunch or bunches.

Etymology

From bunch plus -al (Latin-derived suffix forming adjectives). A rare or technical formation in botanical or descriptive contexts.

Kelly Says

The -al suffix creates adjectives from nouns (like 'annual,' 'manual,' 'fiscal'), but 'buncal' is so rare that most English speakers have never heard it—it's a word that technically exists but barely gets used!
