adj. willing or able to talk and share information openly
adj. relating to the effective exchange of ideas or information
The word "communicative" stems from the Latin root communicare (to share, impart), derived from communis (common). The morpheme "commun" preserves the idea of shared connection, while the suffixes "-ic" and "-ative" transform it into an adjective describing the quality of openness in interaction. Over time, it evolved from literal sharing (e.g., goods) to abstract exchange (e.g., ideas), reflecting societal emphasis on collaboration.
