Serving to consummate or complete; tending toward perfection or completion.
From consummate + -ive (Latin suffix meaning 'having the quality of'). The -ive suffix attaches to verb stems to create adjectives describing what something tends to do or be.
The -ive suffix is a linguistic power move—it transforms actions into qualities, so 'consummate' (to do) becomes 'consummative' (having the quality of completing). You see it everywhere: creative, productive, destructive.
