Demonical

/dɪˈmɑnɪkəl/ adjective

Definition

Of or relating to demons; demonic or characteristic of demons.

Etymology

From demon + -ical (adjective suffix). An older variant of 'demonic' using the -ical ending instead of -ic.

Kelly Says

The -ical ending (like in 'magical,' 'cynical,' 'mythical') often sounds more formal and archaic, which is probably why 'demonical' appears mostly in older literature and religious texts trying to sound suitably grave.
