Relating to, capable of, or having the nature of floating; tending to float or buoyant.
From 'float' plus the adjective-forming suffix '-ative' (from Latin '-ativus'). The '-ative' suffix creates adjectives describing a tendency, capacity, or quality.
'Flotative' shows English's love of making adjectives—we can describe almost any action with '-ative' (creative, talkative, innovative), giving us incredibly precise ways to describe tendencies and characteristics!
