Origin: Formed within English, by derivation; originally modelled on a French lexical item. Etymons: sense n., -ive suffix.

Etymology: < sense n. + -ive suffix, in sense 1 originally after Middle French sensif having the power of sensation (a1380 in nerf sensieux and 1533 in the passage translated in quot. ?1541 in this sense; late 12th cent. in Old French in sense ‘(of a person) that shows sound judgement, reasonable’), in sense 2 originally (in sensive soul n.) rendering post-classical Latin sensitivus sensitive adj. (in anima sensitiva : see sensitive soul n. at sensitive adj. and n. Compounds 1). Compare post-classical Latin sensivus having the power of sensation, having the function of sensation (9th cent. in British sources). Compare earlier sensitive adj., for which some later examples may show typographical errors, and also earlier sensible adj. II.
