Webster's 1913 Dictionary

FACTITIVE

Fac "ti *tive. a. Etym: [See Fact. ]

 

1. Causing; causative.

 

2. (Gram. )

 

Defn: Pertaining to that relation which is proper when the act, as of a transitive verb, is not merely received by an object, but produces some change in the object, as when we say, He made the water wine. Sometimes the idea of activity in a verb or adjective involves in it a reference to an effect, in the way of causality, in the active voice on the immediate objects, and in the passive voice on the subject of such activity. This second object is called the factitive object. J. W. Gibbs.
