Morphology
interventive = intervention (transparent) = intervention + ive
Formed by adding the productive adjectival suffix '-ive' to 'intervention'; the meaning 'relating to intervention' is directly derived.
Etymology
Interventive comes from the parts inter- ('between') and venire ('to come'), the same idea you see in intervene and intervention. So an interventive action is one that 'comes between' a problem and what would normally happen, for example a treatment put in on purpose to cause a change and see if it works.
