Word origin
The word 'suggestive' originated from the Latin word 'suggestivus', which is derived from the verb 'suggerere' meaning 'to bring up, offer'. The term first appeared in the English language in the early 17th century. Over time, 'suggestive' has come to be associated with implications or hints of something beyond the obvious, especially in a potentially controversial or inappropriate manner.
