The word "inventive" derives from the Latin inventus, the past participle of invenire ("to come upon, discover"), composed of in- (into) + venire (to come). The suffix -ive (from Latin -ivus) forms adjectives indicating a tendency or capacity. Thus, "inventive" literally means "having the capacity to discover or create," reflecting its modern sense of imaginative originality.
