Consummatory

/kənˈsʌməˌtɔri/ adjective

Definition

Relating to or serving as a consummation; completing or perfecting in nature.

Etymology

From consummation + -ary (Latin suffix meaning 'relating to'). Similar to consummative, but emphasizing the final result or state achieved.

Kelly Says

The -ary suffix means 'relating to'—like dictionary (relating to words) or military (relating to war). So consummatory means 'relating to consummation,' marking something as final or complete.
