Auditive

/ˈɔːdɪtɪv/ adjective

Definition

Relating to the sense of hearing or the ability to hear; connected to the ears and auditory processes.

Etymology

From Latin 'auditus' (heard, from audire to hear) + -ive (adjective suffix). This older form emphasizes the hearing sense itself rather than specific hearing organs.

Kelly Says

Psychologists distinguish between 'auditive learners' and other learning styles—people who absorb information best through hearing. Research shows auditive learners often excel in language and music, and understanding your auditive strengths helps you study more effectively.
