Definitions

  1. Being a name.

Word origin

From Late Latin dēnōminātīvus, a calque of Ancient Greek παρώνυμος (parṓnumos, “derivative”). It originally had the meaning “derived”, but in its grammatical sense, it has developed the meaning “from a noun”, perhaps a reinterpretation of the Latin morphemes that it consists of: the preposition dē (“from”) and the stem of nōmen (“name, noun”).

Used in a sentence

  • From the fact that this was the most noticeable feature in their costume, the name came naturally to be the denominative term of the tribe.
  • The least denominative part of time is a second.
