redistributive

/ɹidɪˈstɹɪbjətɪv/, /ɹidɪˈstɹɪbjutɪv/ adj

Of or pertaining to redistribution

Word Origin Redistributive means relating to distributing again. Redistribute comes from re- 'again' + distribute, from Latin distribuere 'to divide up, allot' (dis- 'apart' + tribuere 'to assign, pay'). Tribuere is from tribus 'tribe,' originally a division of the Roman people. The same root gives us tribute (payment), contribute (give together), and retribution (payback). The -ive suffix makes it an adjective.
