Climatical

/klɪˈmætɪkəl/ adjective

Definition

Relating to or influenced by climate; having the nature or qualities of climate.

Etymology

From climate plus the double suffix -ic and -al, both meaning 'of or relating to.' This word is an older or variant form of 'climatic.'

Kelly Says

English sometimes adds both -ic AND -al to words (like 'mathematical' from 'mathematic'), creating redundant-sounding adjectives that are actually part of our language's historical layering.
