Of or pertaining to an encyclopedia; relating to the comprehensive organization or nature of reference works (American English variant).
American English variant of encyclopaedial, simplifying the double-e spelling. The -ial suffix emphasizes categorical relationship rather than broad descriptive quality.
Both British and American encyclopedial is almost extinct—'encyclopedic' and 'encyclopaedic' proved so useful that these variants simply faded away.
