Relating to or containing a clause, which is a group of words with a subject and verb in a sentence.
From 'clause' (from Latin 'clausula,' meaning conclusion or ending) plus '-al' (relating to), used in grammar and linguistics.
When someone says 'that sentence is clausal,' they mean it's built from multiple parts, each with its own subject and verb—like building with LEGO blocks instead of one solid piece.
