modal
Relating to manner
Modal describes something relating to mode or manner.
In grammar, modal verbs like *can*, *could*, *may*, *might*, *must*, *shall*, *should*, *will*, and *would* express possibility, necessity, permission, or obligation: You should call her.
In computing and design, a modal is a dialog box or window that demands attention before the user can continue—you must dismiss it to proceed.
In music, modal refers to compositions based on modes rather than major or minor scales.
