1. 1/ˌθiːəˈretɪkəl/ · /ˌθɪəˈretɪkəl/理論上的

    Theoretical describes something based on ideas and theory, not on real, tested experience. A 'theoretical' possibility is one that could happen based on logic or science, even if it hasn't actually happened yet or been tried. Students often study 'theoretical' knowledge in class (ideas and formulas) before doing 'practical' or hands-on work to try it out for real.
