Contradictive

/ˌkɒntrəˈdɪktɪv/ adjective

Definition

Involving or expressing contradiction; serving to contradict or oppose something.

Etymology

From 'contradict' (Latin 'contradicere') plus the adjective suffix '-ive' (having the quality or character of), an alternative form to 'contradictory'.

Kelly Says

While 'contradictory' is more common today, 'contradictive' appears in older texts—both mean the same thing, but 'contradictive' emphasizes the active process of contradicting rather than the state of being contradicted.
