Relating to or based on strong belief or firm conviction; expressing deeply held principles or certitude.
From 'conviction' (from Latin 'convictio,' meaning proof or a firm belief) plus the suffix '-al' (relating to). This literary or formal adjective emphasizes the strength of belief behind something.
A 'convictional' argument isn't just true—it's something someone believes with every fiber of their being, which is why convictional writing can be so powerful but also sometimes overlooked by people who don't share that belief!
