Relating to or possessing the power of curing or healing; having therapeutic qualities.
From Latin curativus (from curare 'to heal') with the prefix a- added. Though seemingly from 'acuity,' it actually derives from medical Latin roots for treatment.
Though 'acurative' looks like it should relate to 'acute' and 'acuity,' it actually comes from Latin curare—words are like fossils, and this one preserves a Latin medical term that's mostly been replaced by 'curative.'
