adj. relating to or providing motivation; inspiring action or effort

The word "motivational" stems from the Latin motivus ("moving"), derived from movere ("to move"). The root "motive" entered English via Old French, originally denoting a reason for action. The suffix "-ation" transforms it into a noun ("motivation"), and "-al" further adapts it into an adjective. The term evolved to describe things that psychologically "move" people toward goals, reflecting its literal and figurative connection to motion.
