  1. conditional

    Conditional typically refers to something that is subject to one or more conditions or requirements being met. It can denote a clause in a contract or agreement that requires certain terms to be met for the contract to be fully enforceable. In logic, a conditional statement is a statement that is logically equivalent to "if X then Y". It could also refer to something that grants an ability in a particular circumstance in programming languages.
