inflictive

/ɪnflˈɪktɪv/ adj

Of, pertaining to or causing infliction

Word Origin From Latin in- 'on' and fligere 'to strike' — inflict is literally 'to strike upon.' Inflicitive is the adjective form meaning 'tending to inflict.' The same root gives us conflict (strike together), afflict (strike toward, causing pain), and profligate (struck down, ruined).
