Definition
Relating to or characteristic of epistles or letters, especially formal ones.
Etymology
From epistle plus the Latin adjectival suffix -ar. This rare adjective formation follows the pattern of other Latin-derived words like circular or molecular.
Kelly Says
You'll almost never hear this word in modern English because we just say 'epistolary' instead—it's a linguistic fossil that lost out in the competition between different ways to say the same thing.
