doctorial

/dɑktˈɔɹɪəl/ adj

doctoral

Word Origin Doctorial is doctor + -ial, meaning 'pertaining to a doctor.' Doctor comes from Latin docere 'to teach' — originally a doctor was a teacher, not just a physician. The root docere also gives us doctrine (teaching), docile (teachable), and document (something that teaches). The -ial suffix (like in presidential) makes it an adjective. So doctorial relates to the teaching or learned authority of a doctor.
