Eruditical

/ˌerəˈdɪtɪkəl/ adjective

Definition

Relating to or characteristic of learning, scholarship, or erudition; scholarly.

Etymology

Erudite plus the adjectival suffix -ical, an alternative formation that emphasizes scholarly qualities.

Kelly Says

The -ical suffix creates alternative adjective forms (like 'comic' vs. 'comical')—'eruditical' exists but is rare because 'erudite' is already an adjective!
