Tending to evoke, call forth, or bring to mind; having the power to summon forth feelings or memories.
From Latin 'evocatorius' (of or relating to calling out), formed from 'evocator' + the '-y' (or '-ory') suffix. This is a formal, Latin-influenced adjective form meaning 'characterized by' or 'tending to' evocation.
This is basically the scholarly version of 'evocative'—both mean the same thing, but 'evocatory' sounds more formal and technical, like something a professor would write in a dense literary analysis. Language has these paired forms where Latin-derived versions sound fancier.
