/ˌkæmpænˈjuːleəriən/ adjective

Definition

Etymology

Derived from Latin 'campanula' (small bell) with the suffix '-arian' added to form an adjective describing things related to bell-shaped forms.

Kelly Says

The suffix '-arian' appears in words like 'vegetarian' and 'librarian,' showing how Latin can turn almost any noun into an adjective describing people or things connected to that concept.
