Origin: Either (i) a borrowing from Latin. Or (ii) formed within English, by derivation. Etymons: Latin remunerativus ; remunerate v., -ive suffix.

Etymology: Either < post-classical Latin remunerativus that rewards (1344 in a British source; < classical Latin remūnerāt- , past participial stem of remūnerārī remunerate v. + -īvus -ive suffix), or < remunerate v. + -ive suffix. Compare Spanish remunerativo (a1635 in an apparently isolated early attestation in justicia remunerativa ); parallels in other Romance languages are first attested much later (e.g. French rémunératif (1770)). Compare earlier remuneratory adj., remunerating adj.

†1. Liable to provide or offer remuneration or reward; (in later use probably) spec. providing the opportunity for profit or gain. Obsolete. rare.
