redemptory

/ɹɪˈdɛm(p)təɹi/ adj

Paid as ransom; serving to redeem.

Word Origin Built from Latin 'redimere' 'to buy back' — re- 'back' + emere 'to buy'. Redemptory means 'pertaining to redemption,' that act of buying back. The same root emere gives us redeem, redemption, exempt (bought out), preempt (buy before), and even example (something taken out as a sample). The idea of a transaction that restores is central.
