Characteristic of or relating to charlatan behavior; fraudulent, deceptive, or involving pretense and deception.
From charlatan plus the suffix -ical, an extended adjectival form combining two suffixes (-ic and -al) for emphasis.
Using both -ic and -al together (charlatanic vs. charlatanical) is how English adds intensity—it's like saying 'doubly deceptive' or 'extra fraudulent,' making the word feel more serious and condemnatory!
