meaning_definition: spectacular | remarkable | impressive

example_words_list_1: sucktacular | craptacular | spooktacular | creeptacular | spooktacularly

categorical_group_list: Adjectival, Quality, Magnitude

etymology: From Latin -tāculus, a variant of the superlative suffix -culus (diminutive) or -culus combined with -āre, often forming adjectives meaning 'full of' or 'characterized by', derived from the root of 'tactus' (touch) or related to 'talis' (such), but in modern English '-tacular' is a productive suffix formed from 'spectacular' where 'specta-' is the root and '-cular' is the suffix, reanalyzed as '-tacular'. However, strictly speaking, '-tacular' is not a direct Latin suffix but an English morphological innovation. The ancestor is the Latin suffix '-culus' (diminutive) or '-cularis' (pertaining to), but the specific form '-tacular' comes from the English word 'spectacular'. Therefore, the direct etymology is English reanalysis of 'spectacular'.
