Definition
Having the quality or effect of drying things out; causing desiccation.
Etymology
From Latin desiccativus (drying), formed from desiccatus plus the adjective suffix -ive. Used in technical and scientific contexts.
Kelly Says
The desiccative properties of different materials—how talc, chalk, or sand removes moisture differently—is why ancient grain storage involved combinations of materials, not just putting things in a box.
