Frictional

/ˈfrɪkʃənəl/ adjective

Definition

Relating to, caused by, or involving friction; describing forces that resist movement between surfaces.

Etymology

From 'friction' plus the suffix '-al.' The suffix transforms the noun into an adjective describing things related to or characterized by friction.

Kelly Says

Physics class becomes so much clearer when you realize that 'frictional forces' are just the name scientists give to that resistance you feel when you rub your hands together!
