Serving to establish, confirm, or make evident; relating to or capable of constating or asserting something as true.
From constate + -ory (adjective suffix meaning 'relating to or serving for'). The -ory suffix appears in words like 'laboratory' and 'dormitory,' meaning a place for that action.
Constatory is an extremely rare adjective that philosophical texts might use—something 'constatory in nature' is designed to establish facts, showing how even obscure words preserve precise philosophical distinctions.
