Morphology
injunctive = injunction (semi-transparent) = in + junct + ive
The base 'injunction' is clear, but the specific legal or grammatical context of 'injunctive' may not be immediately apparent to all learners.
Etymology
Injunctive comes from Latin parts in- 'on' and jungere 'to join', the same root as the everyday word join and junction. So an injunctive rule or order is like something 'placed on' people, a command they must follow.
