A quick definition of causative:

Term: Causative

Definition: Causative means something that makes something else happen. It can be a cause or reason for something to occur. For example, if you touch a hot stove, the causative factor for getting burned is the heat from the stove. Causative can also describe how one thing leads to another, like how drinking alcohol can cause someone to become more likely to commit assault. Causative is similar to the word "causal."

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Causative (kaw-z-tiv) means something that is effective in causing a result or outcome. It can also refer to something that expresses a relationship of cause and effect.

Examples:

  • The causative factor of the accident was the driver's failure to stop at the red light.
  • Studies have shown a causative relationship between smoking and lung cancer.

The first example illustrates how the failure to stop at a red light caused the accident. The second example shows how smoking can cause lung cancer. Both examples demonstrate the idea of causation, where one thing leads to another.
