The word "exhaustive" derives from the verb "exhaust," which originates from the Latin exhaurire (ex- "out" + haurire "to draw, drain"). The suffix -ive (from Latin -ivus) forms adjectives indicating tendency or capacity. Thus, "exhaustive" literally means "tending to draw out completely," evolving to describe something thorough or all-encompassing.
