Morphology

applicative = apply (semi-transparent) = apply + ive

The meaning relates to 'apply' (able to be used/applied), but the form changes (apply → applic-) and the adjective 'applicative' is less common and somewhat specialized, which may reduce immediate recognizability for learners.

Etymology

The word applicative is related to the common verb apply and the noun application, both meaning 'to put to use'. So something applicative is easy to use in real life and can be used effectively to solve practical problems.
