使用说明

Use 'recredive' sparingly as it is a highly specialized or archaic term. It is most effective in legal, academic, or high-level literary contexts to describe a person who lacks the fortitude to keep a promise or maintain a standard.

⚠️

常见错误

Learners often mistake this for an adjective because of the '-ive' suffix; ensure it is used as a noun identifying a person or a state. Do not confuse it with 'recreative,' which relates to leisure.
