The absurd performed as a genre rather than arrived at.
Etymologyabsurd + -alistic. The -al has no source — in natural, ideal, material, journal it belongs to the base, and there is no *absurdal.
NoteKept for the phantom syllable, which enacts the pomposity it names. Absurdist already exists and is already the adjective.
