Relating to or characterized by evolution; showing gradual development and change.
From 'evolution' + '-al' suffix meaning 'of or relating to.' Used since the 1800s as an alternative to 'evolutionary' with subtle technical distinctions in some contexts.
While 'evolutionary' is more common, 'evolutional' sometimes appears in philosophy and physics to describe any gradual, step-by-step unfolding process—not just biological evolution.
