What does CAUSAL mean in Scrabble?
adjective
Relating to, or expressing, the relationship between a cause and the effect it produces.
A causal link means one event actually brings about another, rather than the two merely happening together; scientists, historians and statisticians all draw a sharp line between a causal connection and one that is merely correlational. Establishing that a relationship is causal usually takes controlled experiments or careful reasoning, because two things can rise and fall together purely by coincidence. The adjective is common in academic and scientific writing, and increasingly in everyday discussion of statistics and research. Its noun partner, causality, names the underlying relationship itself.
