Where is substantive from?

Learn English class tips.

Substantive was borrowed into Middle English from the Anglo-French adjective sustentif, meaning “having or expressing substance,” and can be traced back to the Latin verb substare, which literally means “to stand under.”

Figuratively, the meaning of substare is best understood as “to stand firm” or “to hold out.” Since the 14th century, we have used substantive to speak of that which is of enough “substance” to stand alone, or be independent.

By the 19th century, the word evolved related meanings, such as “enduring” and “essential.” It also shares some senses with substantial, such as “considerable in quantity.”
