causative

This term carries a strong sense of direct agency and mechanical necessity. It describes a relationship where one event is the trigger that forces another to occur, leaving little room for coincidence or indirect influence. In scientific or medical contexts, it is used to pinpoint the exact origin of a phenomenon.

In linguistics, the term shifts toward a structural function. It describes the specific way a language encodes the act of causing, distinguishing between a person performing an action and a person making someone else perform that action.
