Abjunctive

/æbˈdʒʌŋktɪv/ adjective

Definition

Relating to or involving separation or disconnection of things that are joined together.

Etymology

Derived from 'abjunction' with the suffix '-ive' meaning 'tending to' or 'relating to.' It maintains the Latin roots of separation.

Kelly Says

While most words ending in '-ive' describe actions or states, 'abjunctive' is special because it emphasizes the quality of things that are fundamentally about pulling apart or separating.
