Relating to comparison or the act of bringing things together for examination.
From Latin 'collativus,' derived from 'conferre' (to bring together). The suffix '-ive' indicates a quality or tendency to perform the action of collating.
In grammar and logic, 'collative' describes words or processes that involve comparison—like when you compare two things side-by-side, you're using a collative method to understand their differences and similarities.
