Definition
Relating to or showing a tendency toward emulating, imitating, or rivalry; marked by a desire to equal or exceed others.
Etymology
From Latin 'aemulativus' (of or relating to emulation), this adjective entered English around the 16th century to describe attitudes or behaviors characterized by emulation.
Kelly Says
An 'emulative' culture—whether in sports, academics, or business—drives incredible achievement, but it can also breed toxic competition; understanding this word means understanding a fundamental tension in human societies.
