doctrinal, a. and n.|ˈdɒktrɪnəl, dɒkˈtraɪnəl|
[The n. was a. F. doctrinal (13th c. in Littré); the adj. was perh. more directly ad. late L. doctrīnāl-is (Isidore), f. doctrīna learning, doctrine: see -al1.
The historical pronunciation, from L. doctrīˈnālis, Fr. and ME. doctriˈnal, is ˈdoctrinal (so Bailey, Todd); docˈtrīnal (J.) passes over the actual L., Fr. and ME. words, to reach the ulterior doctrīna.]
