Distributive


Definition:

  • (a.) Tending to distribute; serving to divide and assign in portions; dealing to each his proper share.
  • (a.) Assigning the species of a general term.
  • (a.) Expressing separation; denoting a taking singly, not collectively; as, a distributive adjective or pronoun, such as each, either, every; a distributive numeral, as (Latin) bini (two by two).
