Definition
Of, relating to, or promoting celibacy; designed to support or maintain a celibate lifestyle.
Etymology
From Latin 'caelebs' (unmarried) + '-atory' suffix (relating to or serving). The '-atory' suffix typically creates adjectives describing purpose or relation, as in 'explanatory' or 'accusatory'.
Kelly Says
The '-atory' suffix usually describes something's purpose or tendency—'celibatory' laws or practices aren't just compatible with celibacy, they're actively meant to support it.
