Relating to or having the nature of composition; serving to compose or combine things together.
From Latin 'compositus' (past participle of 'componere') plus -ive suffix. The suffix -ive indicates a tendency toward or relating to the root action.
This is a rare word that describes anything that has a combining or compositional quality—it's the adjective form that philosophers and grammarians prefer when discussing how language pieces together meanings from smaller elements.
