Definition
Relating to or having the quality of cleansing, purifying, or producing catharsis, especially regarding emotions or medicines.
Etymology
From Greek katharros (pure) + -ical (adjective suffix), an alternative form of 'cathartic.' This form is now archaic but appears in older medical and philosophical texts.
Kelly Says
This archaic form shows how English had extra adjective variations in the 1600s-1800s—scientists loved precise variations, so they'd use 'cathartical' versus 'cathartic' to show slightly different meanings in technical writing.
