The adjective critical has two general uses.One is based on the word critic and often means "inclined to find fault" (e.g. He was critical of my work) although it can also mean "of or related to a critic or criticism" (e.g. the critical success of a play).It can also mean very important or necessary. This can be crucial, or vital (e.g. a critical need for new equipment) or intrinsic, chief, or central (e.g. the critical flaw in his plan).
