Definition
Of or characterized by logical refutation and the exposure of contradictions in reasoning.
Etymology
From 'elenctic' plus the suffix '-al,' paralleling the formation of 'elenchical' but with the alternate 'elenctic' spelling base.
Kelly Says
These stacked-up suffix variants ('elenctical' vs 'elenchical') show how English speakers in different eras and places adapted Greek philosophy terms—same root, different scholarly paths!
