Etymology

From 'centaur' plus the adjectival suffix '-ial' (meaning 'relating to'). Used in literary and mythological contexts to describe centaur-like qualities.

Kelly Says

This adjective is almost never used because most writers just say 'centaur-like' instead—it's a linguistic fossil that survives mainly in dusty fantasy encyclopedias.
