Contextive

/kɒnˈtɛksɪv/ adjective

Definition

Of or relating to context; providing or depending on context; contextual.

Etymology

From Latin 'contextus' + the English suffix '-ive,' forming an adjective meaning 'relating to or characterized by context.' This is a less common variant of 'contextual.'

Kelly Says

While 'contextual' is modern and common, 'contextive' is the older English form—seeing both side-by-side shows how language develops multiple ways to express the same idea, then usually settles on one!
