Relating to or having the nature of a gerundive, which is a Latin verb form expressing future obligation or intention.
From Latin gerundivus (from gerundium), the gerundive being the obligatory or future-passive form of verbs in Latin grammar that literally means 'that which must be done.'
Latin's gerundive is grammatically elegant—it could express 'this thing must be done' in a single word, which is why phrases like 'agenda' (things to be done) and 'Amanda' (she who must be loved) come directly from gerundives.
