Pronunciation

Adjective

  1. Of the nature of, or relating to, a node.
    • 1980, Roger Moody, Indecent Assault:
      If the sexual component [in a prosecutorial case] cannot be construed, it must be constructed. It is the nodal point of the prosecutor's comprehension. Up to that point, everything [] may perplex or disturb. But once the sexuality has been imputed, everything that seemed normal can now be made abnormal and perverse.
    • 2023, Dimitris Krallis, “A New Look At Zonaras”, in Histos, volume 17:
      Chapter 4 is nodal to the book, not simply because it stands at its very middle. It engages with Kaiserkritik but also it connects the previous chapter’s discussion of working method and sources to what follows in Chapter 5, where Zonaras’ interest in Roman antiquity is discussed in greater detail.
    • 2025 August 6, David Stubbings, “Network News: Options sought for more trains to London Gateway”, in RAIL, number 1041, page 10:
      Freightliner has advocated the long-planned development of Ripple Lane as a nodal yard. Its redevelopment, to accommodate roads up to 700 metres long, was listed in the London Freight Strategy of 2022 but hasn't gone beyond the drawing board.
  2. (anatomy) Of or relating to the nodus.
