Relating to conception or the formation of ideas; abstract or cognitive.
Derived from conception by adding -al. This term emerged in philosophical and psychological writing during the 19th century to distinguish mental conception from biological conception.
Philosophers distinguish between 'conceptional' (about ideas forming in your brain) and 'conception' (the physical act), which matters when they're debating whether babies in the womb have 'conceptional' abilities.
