Parsing inflected forms may not always work as expected. If the following does not give the correct word, try Latin Words or Perseus.

contemplātīvus, a, um, adj. [contemplor], contemplative, speculative: philosophia (opp. activa), theoretical (formed after the Gr. θεωρητικός), Sen. Ep. 95, 10: sapientiae pars, Aug. Civ. Dei, 8, 4: vita, Fulg. Myth. 2, 1.
