dechticaetiative

English

Etymology

From Ancient Greek δεχ- (dekh-, to take, receive) +‎ -tic + a shortening of Ancient Greek αἰτιατική (aitiatikḗ, accusative) +‎ -ive, intended to suggest "recipient-as-accusative", with the spellings of Greek components latinized.[1] The term was first introduced by Blansitt (1984). A more current term with the same signification is secundative.
