debilitative

/dᵻbˈɪlᵻtˌeɪɾɪv/ adj

Causing or relating to debilitation.

Word Origin Debilitative comes from debilitate, which goes back to Latin 'debilitare' — to weaken, literally 'to take away ability,' from de- 'away' and habilis 'able' (from habere 'to have'). So something debilitative saps your strength. The habere root also gives us able, ability, habit, and exhibit — all about having or holding.
