Serving as or acting in the manner of a household servant; characteristic of or relating to servile duties.
From Latin 'famulus' (servant) plus the -ative suffix (indicating a tendency or relation to). This is an extremely rare scholarly term with very limited use in modern English.
Words this obscure remind us that English was once thick with elaborate servant-related vocabulary—a whole semantic field has largely disappeared because the social structures that created it have vanished.
