Exhibitional

/ˌɛɡzɪˈbɪʃənəl/ adjective

Definition

Relating to or suitable for displaying or showing something in public.

Etymology

From exhibition (Latin exhibitio, 'a showing forth') + -al (adjective suffix). The suffix -al was added to the noun exhibition to create an adjective form.

Kelly Says

This word is quite rare—most English speakers use 'exhibition' as an adjective directly (like 'exhibition match') rather than adding -al, showing how adjective formation isn't always predictable.
