explicatorioexplicativa

Explicatorioexplicativa is a coinage formed by combining the masculine explicatorio and the feminine explicativa. It is not a standard term in major dictionaries and is primarily encountered in informal or experimental linguistic and educational discourse as a way to signal that an explanation or explanatory material is meant to cover both gender forms.

The formation reflects debates about gender in language and morphology. As a portmanteau, explicatorioexplicativa is sometimes discussed as a symbolic or pedagogical device rather than as a normative form. In practice, writers may prefer explicit alternatives such as explicatorio-explicativa, explicatorio/explicativa, or simply mention both forms separately to indicate coverage of masculine and feminine agreements.

Usage of the term is typically found in theoretical notes, classroom discussions, or exploratory articles about how adjectives related to explanation agree with nouns of different gender. It may appear in examples that illustrate how explanatory content can be approached from perspectives that acknowledge both masculine and feminine grammatical forms, or in critique of gendered language and its impact on clarity.

Examples of how the concept might be presented include phrases like “un pasaje explicatorioexplicativa” or “un texto explicatorioexplicativo” to demonstrate the idea of an inclusive or dual-gender label. In formal writing, however, such concatenation is uncommon, and writers usually opt for explicit pairing or hyphenation.
