The word putative has its origin in Latin. It was taken from the word putare which means 'to prune or to think.' It was modified as putativus. The Old French altered it as putatif which was later adapted by Middle English. Putative is an adjective and is synonymous to 'supposed'. For example: the putative cause of the war. The example describes the cause of the war which is generally accepted. Putatively is as adverb derived form putative.
Thus, putative site, putative criticism, and putative hypotheses are things that are accepted as true in the absence rigid evidence or base.
