The al ending is derived from Latin and often brings the sense of something being related to, connected with, or characteristic of a root word. Words that end in al can take on a range of meanings, from describing qualities to denoting actions or states.
Let’s look at some examples:
1. Historical: This adjective is used to describe things related to history. For example, historical landmarks are places that have played a significant role in the past.
2. Structural: This adjective describes the design or arrangement (i.e. the structure) of something. Structural integrity, for example, is the soundness and stability of a construction.
3. Portal: This noun might refer to a doorway, entrance, or gateway, often with a sense of transition (like at a port).
