Performatory

/pəˈfɔːrmətɔːri/

प्रदर्शनात्मक; दिखावटी; औपचारिक रूप से किया गया

Origin & History

Formed from perform + -atory (adjectival suffix meaning “relating to”), modeled on words like 'invitatory'; influenced in modern usage by 'performative' (20th-century linguistic/philosophical term).

'perform' + '-atory' (जिसका अर्थ है “से संबंधित”) से बना विशेषण; 'invitatory' जैसे शब्दों के ढाँचे पर; आधुनिक प्रयोग में 'performative' (20वीं सदी का भाषावैज्ञानिक/दार्शनिक शब्द) से अर्थ-प्रयोग प्रभावित।

Definition

Performatory describes actions, speech, or gestures that are carried out as a performance—often to satisfy expectations or create an impression, sometimes without genuine intent or meaningful impact.

Performatory उन कार्यों, कथनों या इशारों को दर्शाता है जो एक तरह के “प्रदर्शन” के रूप में किए जाते हैं—अक्सर अपेक्षाएँ पूरी करने या प्रभाव डालने के लिए, और कभी-कभी बिना वास्तविक नीयत या ठोस असर के।
