assimilative

/a.si.mi.la.tiv/ adj

Tending to, or characterized by, assimilation.

Word Origin Assimilative comes from Latin 'assimilare', to make similar, with ad- 'to' and 'similis' 'like'. The breakdown as+simil+at+ive shows the prefix ad- assimilated to as- before s, and the root simil- meaning 'like'. The PIE root *sem- 'one, together' is the same root that gives us same, simple, single, and assemble — all about bringing things together into oneness. So assimilative describes the tendency to make things alike, to absorb into a unified whole.
