advisory
UK: ədˈvaɪzəri | US: ədˈvaɪzəri
adj. relating to or providing advice
n. an official report or warning giving advice
The word "advisory" stems from the Latin advisare (later advisare), meaning "to consider" or "to counsel." The morpheme "advis" derives from the Old French aviser, which itself comes from Latin ad- (toward) + visare (to see). The suffix "-ory" (from Latin -orius) indicates a relational quality, turning the verb into an adjective or noun. Over time, "advisory" evolved to describe anything pertaining to giving guidance or formal recommendations.
