Adjective

In the nature of a conjecture, or based on a conjecture.

* 1863 , Jules Festu, Practical lessons on the comparative construction of the verb in the French and English languages

In conjectural statements, the French often use the Future or the Conditional, instead of the Perfect or the Pluperfect used in English.

* 1844 , Thomas Joseph Pettigrew, On Superstitions Connected with the History and Practice of Medicine and Surgery

Medicine, however, has been, and still continues to be, an art so conjectural and uncertain, that our astonishment at the anxiety with which empirics have been sought after and followed is much diminished.
