multiplicative
Involving repeated multiplication
Multiplicative describes something relating to or involving multiplication.
In mathematics, a multiplicative inverse is a number that yields one when multiplied by the original number.
Multiplicative growth increases by a constant factor rather than a constant amount—doubling repeatedly rather than adding steadily.
The term contrasts with additive: The effects were multiplicative, not merely additive.
