    Usage notes
    edit

    The suffix -āris is added to a noun to form an adjective of relationship to that noun.

    Examples:
    mīlitāris (military, of a soldier), from mīles (soldier)
    oculāris (ocular, of the eye), from oculus (eye)
    sōlāris (solar, of the sun), from sōl (sun)

    If the root word or its stem does not contain an l, then the form -ālis generally is used instead. Sometimes both forms are found, e.g. līneālis and līneāris, from līnea (line).
