Decreative

/ˌdɛkriːˈeɪtɪv/ adjective

Definition

Having the quality or power of destroying, undoing, or causing to cease to exist.

Etymology

From 'decreation' + -ive (having the quality of). Combines de- + creation + the adjective-forming suffix -ive, creating a descriptive term for something that reverses creation.

Kelly Says

This word mostly appears in religious philosophy—'decreative grace' or 'decreative power' describes divine ability to unmake reality, giving the term a mystical quality that regular words like 'destructive' completely lack.
