adj. relating to the study of theology or religious doctrines
adj. involving or characteristic of theological reasoning
The word "theological" derives from the Greek roots "theo-" (θεός, meaning "god") and "-logy" (λόγος, meaning "study" or "discourse"). The suffix "-ical" (from Latin "-icalis") forms adjectives. Combined, these morphemes create a term meaning "pertaining to the study of divine matters." The word evolved through Late Latin "theologicus" and Old French "theologique" before entering English in the 15th century, retaining its core meaning throughout.
