Relating to or characteristic of comedy or comic performance.
From 'comedia' + '-al' (adjective suffix), creating an adjective form meaning 'of or relating to comedy.' This is a rare English formation from the Spanish/Latin theatrical term, likely academic or literary in usage.
Comedial is a wonderful reminder that English is always borrowing and adapting—scholars might use 'comedial traditions' when referring to Spanish theater heritage, preserving the Romance language term rather than using the plain English 'comic'!
