physical

/ˈfɪzɪkəl/

adjectivenounphys · i · cal

Think: "PHYSics is PHYSical"—both start with PHYS-, and the "-ical" ending sounds like "ick-uhl."

Yes, it's physical. The tricky part is the start: it’s PHYS- (not *fiz-*), and the ending is -ical (not -icle).

Definitions

  2. adjectiveRelated to real things you can touch or measure; not abstract.
  3. adjectiveInvolving movement, strength, or exercise.
  4. nounA medical examination, especially a routine checkup.
