dimensional

Relating to size

Dimensional relates to dimensions—measurements of extent or distinct aspects of something.

A two-dimensional shape has length and width; a three-dimensional object adds depth.

The word often appears in compounds: a multi-dimensional problem has many facets, while one-dimensional suggests flatness or lack of depth, especially of characters or thinking.

In physics and math, dimensional analysis checks whether equations make sense by tracking units.
