Relating to or affected by chiragra; describing hand or finger gout.
Derived from chiragra plus the adjectival suffix -ical, following standard English patterns for creating adjectives from medical nouns. Used primarily in medical and historical medical texts.
Medieval and Renaissance doctors loved adding -ical to disease names to make fancy adjectives—it made them sound more scholarly even though they were just describing the same painful condition in a different grammatical form!
