An alternative or more formal form of heraldic, relating to the practice and science of heraldry.
Extended form of 'heraldic' with the additional suffix '-al,' following the same pattern as 'heraclitic/heraclitical'; both forms appear in formal historical and genealogical texts.
Both 'heraldic' and 'heraldical' are correct, but modern English prefers the shorter form—this shows how language gradually drops extra syllables it doesn't need.
