Etymology
Aristotelian comes from the name Aristotle, whose Greek name is built from aristos and telos, meaning 'best' and 'purpose'. So when something is Aristotelian it follows Aristotle's ideas about purpose and careful study, which is why the word means 'relating to Aristotle or his philosophy'.
