vetitiveとは 意味・読み方・使い方

語源

Pseudo-Latinism, derived from **vetitīvus (“prohibitive”), an unattested adjective formed from Classical Latin vetitus (“prohibited”, perfect passive participle of vetō (“to prohibit”)) + -īvus (relational adjective suffix), by analogy with English vetative, from Ecclesiastical Latin vetātīvus (“prohibitive”), from vetātus (“prohibited”), an alternative form of vetitus derived by treating vetō as a regular first conjugation verb, rather than irregular as it was during the Classical period. By surface analysis, veto +‎ -ive.
