adj

Etymology: From Latin dēnotātus + -ive. By surface analysis, denote + -ative.

  1. That denotes or names; designative.

    There was still no concept of language (arithmetical symbolism, perhaps, is not a language, is not denotative in the same sense as words).

  2. Specific to the primary meaning of a term.
