Definition
Relating to or based on the study of fauna and faunists; characterized by faunistic methods or analysis.
Etymology
From 'faunistic' plus '-al' suffix (meaning 'relating to'). This represents a double-suffix construction where '-ic' becomes '-ical' to create a more emphatic or traditional adjective form. The '-al' was added to make it sound more formally scientific.
Kelly Says
The shift from '-istic' to '-istical' is like old-fashioned scientific speech—it sounds more formal and precise! You'll often see this pattern in older scientific papers, where 'faunistical' would be preferred over 'faunistic', though modern science tends to drop the extra '-al'.
