Embracive

/ɪmˈbreɪsɪv/ adjective

Definition

Having the quality of embracing; tending to embrace or include; comprehensive and inclusive.

Etymology

From embrace + -ive (from Latin -ivus, an adjective-forming suffix). The -ive suffix creates adjectives describing a tendency or capacity to do something.

Kelly Says

Words ending in -ive describe tendencies or capabilities—'embracive' means something has the tendency to embrace, like how 'creative' means having a tendency to create. It's a subtle but useful grammatical pattern!
