An alternative or archaic form of diaphoretic, relating to or causing sweating or perspiration.
Variant of diaphoretic with the additional -al suffix, following older English patterns where both -ic and -ical forms were used interchangeably for adjectives derived from Greek roots.
This word's existence in older medical texts shows how English kept both 'diaphoretic' and 'diaphoretical' from its inherited vocabulary, but science eventually settled on the shorter form as medical terminology became more standardized.
