When something is associative, it pulls another thing into your mind. A smell can be strongly associative: one of a soap and you are back in your grandmother's bathroom. Teachers talk about associative memory when you remember a word because it sits next to another word in your head, not because you sat down and drilled it. The feeling is “this goes with that,” even if you cannot say why. Though actually, maths uses the same word in a colder way: the associative law just means you can group numbers differently and still get the same answer — (2+3)+4 is the same as 2+(3+4). Everyday reading almost never needs that maths sense; the “this reminds me of that” sense is the one you will meet. It is a fairly formal, school-and-book adjective, not a word people toss around in the night market.
組成From associate + -ive. The -ive ending (from Latin -īvus, through French -if) turns a verb into an adjective: “having that quality.”
