Eructative

/ɪˈrʌktətɪv/ adjective

Definition

Relating to, causing, or characterized by belching or burping.

Etymology

Latin eructativus, formed from eructare plus the adjectival suffix -ive, indicating a quality or tendency.

Kelly Says

Adding -ive to Latin verbs creates adjectives that describe tendencies, so 'eructative' means 'tending to cause burping'—a useful term for describing fizzy drinks!
