latitudinal

/ˌɫætəˈtudənəɫ/ adj

Relating to latitude.

Word Origin Latitudinal comes from Latin 'latus' meaning 'broad' or 'wide' — because lines of latitude measure how far north or south you are across the globe's width. The suffix '-itude' (from Latin -itudo) makes it a quality, so 'latitude' is literally 'broadness.' Add -al and you get the adjective. The same root 'latus' gives us 'lateral' (sideways), 'dilate' (to make wider), and 'bilateral' (two-sided).
