Syntaxiom

recommendatory

/ˌɹɛkəˈmɛndətɔɹi/ adj

Of or pertaining to a recommendation

Word Origin Recommend comes from Latin re- 'again' and commendare 'to entrust, praise' — so to recommend is to entrust again, to put forward with confidence. Recommendatory is the adjective form, describing something that serves to recommend. The root mend- (from commendare) also gives us command (entrust with authority) and mandate (something entrusted). The breakdown re+commend+atory layers the 'again' onto the praising.
