Morphology
collaborative = collaborate (transparent) = collaborate + ive
The word is transparently formed from the verb 'collaborate' plus the adjective-forming suffix '-ive', and the meaning 'involving collaboration' follows standard English word formation.
Etymology
Collaborative comes from the parts com- meaning 'together' and labor meaning 'work', so a collaborative (as a noun) is a project where people join to 'work together' for a common goal.
