## AI Etymology
innovational comes from innovation (from Latin innovatio(n-), from innovare 'to renew', from in- 'into' + novare 'to make new', from novus 'new') + the adjective suffix -al. Morphologically, the ending is part of the etymology: the suffix is attached to the older base named in the history, producing a later English derivative. In present English, the adjective sense is "relating to or characterized by innovation", so the historical development ends in a clearly identifiable modern dictionary use. The same base also appears in related forms such as innovate, innovation, novel, and novelty. Its semantic neighborhood includes innovative, inventive, creative, and original, which helps locate the modern sense without adding a separate etymological claim. The named historical forms include Latin in-, Latin novus, and Proto-Indo-European *newo-.
