Morphology

inclusive = include (transparent) = include + ive

Formed by adding the adjectival suffix '-ive' to the verb 'include', so learners who know 'include' can readily infer 'inclusive'.

Etymology

Inclusive comes from Latin parts in- meaning 'in' and claudere meaning 'to close', the same root as the English words close and include. So to be inclusive is like 'closing in' everything — making sure all people or things are taken in.
