Having the quality of agitating; tending to agitate or disturb.
From Latin 'agitare' plus the adjectival suffix '-ive' (from Latin '-ivus'). The '-ive' suffix creates adjectives meaning 'having the nature or quality of,' and often appears in English words borrowed from Latin or Romance languages.
Words ending in '-ative' often describe inherent qualities ('creative,' 'talkative'), so calling something 'agitative' suggests it has agitation built into its very nature—useful for describing music, rhetoric, or situations that naturally tend to disturb people.
