Bringing strong feelings, memories, or images to mind; suggestive of something.
From Latin 'evocare,' combining 'ex-' (out) and 'vocare' (to call). The '-ative' suffix creates an adjective meaning tending to do something. The word literally means 'calling out' emotions or memories.
Evocative comes from Latin for 'calling out'—so an evocative song literally calls out memories and feelings from inside you, which is a beautiful way to describe how music works.
