The word "pendative" is a rarely used term in English language. Its phonetic transcription is /ˈpɛndətɪv/. The word is spelt with the combination of two words: "pendant" and "ative". The IPA symbol /ətɪv/ represents the suffix "-ative," which means "tending to" or "having a tendency to." The word "pendant" here refers to something that hangs down or swings freely, making "pendative" loosely mean "having a tendency to swing." Despite its rarity, understanding its spelling helps improve one's knowledge of the English language.
