Tending to produce or causing ulceration and tissue breakdown.
From Latin exulceratus (ulcerated) combined with -ory (pertaining to). This rare superlative form emphasizes the tendency or capacity to cause severe ulceration.
The -atory ending gives this word an almost ceremonial medical formality, used in classical medical texts to describe something with an inherent tendency toward tissue destruction — a linguistic way of emphasizing inevitability.
