αἰτιατικός

Ancient Greek

Etymology

From αἰτῐᾱτός (aitiātós, “caused”) +‎ -ῐκός (-ikós, adjective suffix): “relating to an effect”. The Latin calque accūsātīvus (from which comes English accusative) came from an analysis of the word as deriving from αἰτιάομαι (aitiáomai, “to accuse”) +‎ -τῐκός (-tikós, verbal adjective suffix), but if that were its derivation, it would have a different meaning: “related to accusing”.
