Catalogical

/ˌkætəˈlɑdʒɪkəl/ adjective

Definition

Of, relating to, or having the characteristics of a catalog; systematic and organized like an itemized list or directory.

Etymology

From catalog + -ical (adjective suffix variant). The -ical ending often emphasizes the adjective's meaning even more than -ic alone.

Kelly Says

The distinction between 'catalogic' and 'catalogical' mirrors debates in English about whether longer adjective forms add precision or just pomposity—both are correct, but 'catalogic' has largely won in modern usage.
