From Latin 'grammaticus' meaning 'of or pertaining to grammar or literature,' derived from Greek 'grammatikos,' which comes from 'gramma' (letter, written thing).

Kelly Says

Though 'grammatic' is older than 'grammatical,' we mostly use 'grammatical' now—it's a great example of how even grammar words themselves follow patterns of language evolution and change!
