contributive

/kəntɹˈɪbjutˌɪv/ adj

Tending to contribute; making a contribution

Word Origin From Latin con- 'together' and tribuere 'to give, assign' — so contributive means 'giving together.' The root tribuere also gives us tribute (something given), distribute (give out), and attribute (assign to). The idea: when you're contributive, you're joining in the giving.
