Serving to commemorate or remember; designed to honor or recall a person, event, or thing.
From 'commemorate' plus the adjective-forming suffix '-ory' (from Latin '-orius'), similar in meaning to 'commemorative'.
Commemoratory plaques often use elevated, formal language to mark ordinary places with historical significance—turning a corner or building into a portal to the past.
