adj. relating to or expressing an attitude or mindset

The word "attitudinal" derives from "attitude," which entered English in the 17th century from French attitude (posture or disposition), itself borrowed from Italian attitudine. The Italian term traces back to Late Latin aptitudinem (fitness or tendency), rooted in Latin aptus (fit or suited). The suffix "-al" (from Latin -alis) transforms the noun into an adjective, emphasizing relational or characteristic qualities. Thus, "attitudinal" evolved to describe anything pertaining to a person's or group's attitudes.
