Definition
Serving as an emblem or symbol; emblematic (an older or more formal version of emblematic).
Etymology
From emblematic plus the suffix -al, a doublet formation that was more common in older English. The -al suffix comes from Latin and adds the meaning 'of or relating to.'
Kelly Says
English loved adding -al to already complete adjectives in the 1600s-1800s—creating 'emblematical' alongside 'emblematic.' It's like saying both 'music' and 'musical'—the redundancy eventually faded, leaving emblematic as the preferred form.
