Of or relating to cometography; concerned with the description or mapping of comets.
Formed from 'cometography' plus the adjectival suffix '-ical', extending the '-graphical' pattern seen in 'biographical' and 'geographical'.
As astronomical instruments became better, scientists needed new words to describe comet study—'cometographical' emerged as a technical term to distinguish comet-specific observations from general astronomy.
