An archaic or variant form of eucharistic; relating to the Eucharist.
From eucharistic plus the redundant Latin suffix '-al,' creating an older English adjective form. This version was more common in medieval and early modern religious texts.
Eucharistical is basically how old theologians said 'eucharistic'—older English loved adding extra '-al' endings to adjectives, which is why you see words like 'theatrical' and 'historical' even though we didn't need those extra letters!
Archaic variant of eucharistic; same gender-historical context of male ecclesiastical control over sacramental meaning and performance.
Use when citing historical texts; note that modern usage favors 'eucharistic' but both carry gendered institutional history.
