'geographical' originates from Greek, specifically the word 'geōgraphikos,' where 'geo-' meant 'earth' and 'graphikos' meant 'writing or description.'

'geōgraphikos' transformed into the Latin word 'geographicus,' and eventually became the modern English word 'geographical' through Middle English.

Initially, it meant 'description of the earth,' but over time it evolved into its current meaning of 'relating to the natural features of a region.'
