Concional

/kənˈʃoʊnəl/ adjective

Etymology

From 'concio' plus the Latin adjectival suffix '-alis,' creating an adjective that describes things pertaining to formal assemblies or public speaking.

Kelly Says

This word captures that formal, deliberate quality you feel when someone is speaking to an assembled crowd rather than having a casual conversation—it's the difference between a chat and a 'concional address.'
