Involving, characterized by, or tending toward conflict; contradictory or at odds.
From conflict with the suffix -ory meaning 'relating to' or 'characterized by.' An archaic or poetic variant of conflictive.
This is a beautifully obsolete word that scholars sometimes use to sound extra scholarly—it means the same as conflictive or contradictory but feels like it comes straight from a Victorian novel.
