Linguistic Origin & Historical Etymology

Derived from the verb 'receive', combining Middle English 'receiven' (from Old French 'receivre' and Latin 'recipere') with the English nominal suffix '-al'. While less common than its counterpart 'reception', 'receival' has been used historically in British and Commonwealth English contexts to denote the act of receiving something.
