fientive

形容词 adj.
中文释义

英文释义

形容词 adj.
  1. designating a durative and dynamic action performed by the subject not-comparable
    — This underlines again that a contrast of nominality versus verbality conveys a stative versus fientive purport.
  2. designating entering into a state as opposed to being in a state not-comparable
    — The basic idea is that what previous scholarship categorised as a stative, viz. the various forms going back to a derivation with a long ē, is in fact a fientive, i.e. it designates the becoming and not the being.

词源

From Latin fīēns (“becoming; happening”, present active participle of fīō (“to become; to happen”)), on the pattern of words such as stative, durative, iterative, causative etc.
