Conjunctional

/kənˈdʒʌŋkʃənəl/ adjective

Definition

Relating to or characterized by conjunction, or the act of joining things together.

Etymology

Formed from conjunction (the noun) plus the suffix -al, which creates adjectives meaning 'relating to.' Conjunction itself comes from Latin conjunctio, the act or state of being joined.

Kelly Says

In grammar, 'conjunctional' relates to how conjunctions work to join clauses, but in logic and philosophy, it describes how concepts are joined together to form arguments—the same word bridges grammar and abstract thinking.
