What does the word grammatical mean?

"Grammatical" refers to something that conforms to the rules of grammar.

Here's a breakdown:

* Grammar: The set of rules that govern how words are used in a language to form meaningful sentences. These rules cover things like word order, verb conjugation, punctuation, and more.

* Grammatical: A sentence, phrase, or word is considered grammatical when it follows these rules.

For example:

* "The cat sat on the mat." is a grammatical sentence because it follows the rules of English grammar.

* "Cat the sat on mat the." is ungrammatical because it does not follow the rules of word order in English.

So, "grammatical" essentially means "correct in terms of grammar."
