Morphology
adjudicative = adjudicate (transparent) = adjudicate + ive
Formed from the verb 'adjudicate' with the adjectival suffix '-ive', so the meaning is directly derived from the base verb.
Etymology
Adjudicative comes from Latin parts ad- 'to' and judicare 'to judge', and it shares the same root as judge and judicial, so it describes actions or roles that make a formal legal decision.
