"Sufficial" isn't a word as far as I know; but there are two words close to it;
surficial (from the noun 'surface'); relating to, or on the surface of something
sufficient (from the verb 'to suffice'); enough of something, satisfactory

Liza,
I didn't think there was such a word, until I did a search and found this:
By derivation, all words form 2 structural classes:
1. simplexes (non-derived)
2. complexes (derivatives) which in their turn may be divided into:
· sufficial
· prefixal
· conversions
· compounds
--------------------------------------------
Apparently, in the field of lexicology, the branch of linguistics concerned with the meaning and use of words, "sufficial" is an alternative spelling for "suffixal".
suffixal (sufficial) adj. - occuring at the end of a word
Of course, it is also possible that "sufficial" is just a misspelling.
