Characterized by or involving discussion; tending to discuss or debate a topic thoroughly.
From Latin discussivus, derived from discussus (past participle of discutere, meaning to shake apart or examine). The -ive suffix indicates a tendency or quality of doing something.
The word 'discussive' is delightfully rare—most people say 'discursive' instead, but discussive specifically means tending toward discussion itself, while discursive means wandering through topics, so they're almost opposite!
