postulativeadj.

Brit.

/ˈpɒstjᵿlətɪv/,

/ˈpɒstʃᵿlətɪv/, U.S.

/ˈpɑstʃələdɪv/,

/ˈpɑstʃəˌleɪdɪv/

Origin: A borrowing from Latin, combined with an English element. Perhaps also partly formed within English, by derivation. Etymons: Latin postulāt- , postulāre , -ive suffix; postulate v., -ive suffix.

Etymology: Originally < classical Latin postulāt-, past participial stem of postulāre to demand (see postulate v.) + -ive suffix. In later use perhaps independently < postulate v. + -ive suffix.

Of or relating to, or of the nature of postulation; put forward as a postulate, axiomatic.

ΚΠ

1623 H. Cockeram Eng. Dict. Postulative, belonging to a request.

1861 Dinah 193 It was more interesting to him in its delicacy than the fanciful theory with which it was consonant but not necessarily postulative, that..this young creature..was a being of another existence.

1910 Classical Rev. 24 218/2 The Subjunctive with cum expresses something like the idea ‘bearing in mind that’, ‘always remembering that’; for these expressions are meant to be postulative.

1959 B. F. Skinner Cumulative Rec. vii. 386 To force simple scientific inferences into the postulative mold does not contribute to clarity, but rather to awkwardness and confusion.

1995 Acad. of Managem. Rev. 20 755 The three first parts are critical; the fourth is postulative and represents the author's own view on management.
