Expressing or given as a compliment; flattering or praising in nature.
From 'compliment' (French 'compliment,' from Spanish 'cumplimiento,' meaning 'fulfillment of courtesy') + '-ative' (Latin suffix forming adjectives describing a tendency or quality). This rare adjective highlights a formal level of English.
The suffix '-ative' creates adjectives that describe a tendency or capacity (like 'talkative' or 'creative'), but 'complimentative' is so formal and rare that most English speakers would simply say 'complimentary' instead.
