Definitions
A grammatical form expressing a high or superior degree, especially in Semitic languages.
Word origin
From Latin ēlātus (“exalted, lofty, high”) + -ive. Possibly borrowed from German, which has produced a great deal of pioneering Semitist literature, and where Elativ is a common term for absolute superlative in all languages.
