Morphology
schizotypal = schizotype (opaque) = schizo + type + al
The adjective is formed regularly from the noun 'schizotype' with the suffix '-al'.
Etymology
The word schizotypal comes from the Greek parts schizo- meaning 'split' and -typal from 'type' meaning 'form' or 'kind'. So it names a personality that is a 'different' or partly 'split' form from the usual, which helps explain why people described as schizotypal often show odd thinking, strange behavior, and trouble in social relationships.
