Meanings

1. 1
   adj

   relating to gastronomy, especially the preparation, appreciation, or culture of good food

   The region is celebrated for its gastronomical traditions and local cheeses.

Formed from gastronomic or gastronomy plus -al. Gastronomy entered English through French gastronomie, a modern formation from Greek gaster ('stomach') and nomos ('law, custom'); the adjective therefore concerns the principles and culture of eating well.
