additionale

Additionale is not a widely recognized English term. In most references it appears as a misspelling of the French adjective additionnelle, meaning “additional” or “extra,” or as a proper noun such as a brand name or surname. Because there is no standard definition in English-language dictionaries, its meaning depends on context.

Etymology: The root is French; additionnel (masc.) and additionnelle (fem.) come from Latin additio and addere “to add.” The feminine form is used when describing a feminine noun.

Usage in French: In French, additionnelle is used to describe supplementary items or charges, for example frais additionnels (additional charges) or une ligne additionnelle (an add-on line). The form agrees with the noun’s gender: des coûts additionnels, une dépense additionnelle.

As a proper noun: When used as a brand name or surname, Additionale carries no universal meaning beyond identification and is treated as a proper noun rather than a descriptive term.

See also: additionnel, additionnelle, additional, add-on. Note on ambiguity: If you encounter Additionale in text, consider whether it is a misspelling, a linguistic variant, or a named entity.
