Relating to or involving consultation or the seeking of advice.
From Latin consultarius, derived from consultare (to consult) with the adjectival suffix -ary. This archaic term was used in medieval Latin before being mostly replaced by 'consultative.'
This word is almost extinct in modern English, surviving mainly in old legal documents—it's like finding a linguistic fossil that shows how professional advice was formally conceptualized centuries ago.
