Darwinical

/dɑːrˈwɪnɪkəl/ adjective

Definition

Of or relating to Charles Darwin, his theory of evolution, or the principles of natural selection; following Darwinian principles.

Etymology

From Charles Darwin's name plus '-ical' (suffix forming adjectives, variant of '-ic'), emphasizing theoretical or systematic aspects.

Kelly Says

The '-ical' suffix adds a scholarly or systematic weight—you say 'biblical' not 'biblic' because the bigger word feels more authoritative and academic!
