amendatory

/əˈmɛndətɔɹi/ adj

For the purpose of amending or correction.

Word Origin 'Amendatory' comes from 'amend,' which is from Latin emendare, literally 'to remove a fault' (ex- 'out' + menda 'fault'). So something amendatory is intended to correct. The same root gives us 'mend' and 'emendation.' It's a word about fixing flaws.
