dechticaetiative

Meaning

Adjective

• In which the indirect objects of ditransitive verbs are treated like the direct objects of monotransitive verbs.

Origin

• Etymologically, the first morpheme of the term comes from Ancient Greek dekhomai "to take, receive"; the second is obscure, but it is remotely possible it derives from kaitoi "further, indeed". The term was first introduced by Dr. Edward L. Blansitt, Jr. A more current term for the same phenomenon is secundative language.
