Relating to or causing deprivation; tending to take away or remove something.
From deprive + -ative (suffix forming adjectives meaning 'tending to' or 'relating to'). The suffix -ative derives from Latin -ativus, indicating a quality or tendency.
Deprivative is a grammatical formation that sounds reasonable but almost never appears in real English—language users prefer simpler forms like 'depriving.' This shows how not every possible word formation actually survives in practice.
