vetitive

The story

1. Ecclesiastical Latin · derived fromvetātīvus“prohibitive”
2. Classical Latin · derived fromvetitus“prohibited”
3. English todayvetitive

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.
