Flirtational

/flɜrˈteɪʃənəl/ adjective

Definition

Relating to or characteristic of flirtation; having the nature or quality of flirting.

Etymology

From 'flirtation' (the act of flirting) plus the suffix '-al.' This is a blend-formation that mirrors common patterns like 'conversational' from 'conversation.'

Kelly Says

The suffix '-al' is so productive in English that we can attach it to almost any noun—'flirtational' follows the same pattern as 'flirtatiousness,' showing English's endless creativity with word-building.
