"possessive"是一個多義詞，其含義根據語境可分為兩類：
1. 形容詞含義 （1）表示強烈的占有欲或控制傾向，例如："He has a possessive attitude toward his partner"（他對伴侶有強烈的占有欲）。這種用法在心理學和人際關系研究中常見，描述個體通過控制行為展現情感依附。
（2）語法術語中特指所有格形式，用于表示所屬關系。英語中通過添加-'s（如"Mary's book"）或使用物主代詞（如"his/her/their"）構成。該用法在語言學教材中被系統闡述，如劍橋詞典将其定義為"顯示某事物屬于某人的形式"。
2. 名詞含義 在語法體系中指代具體的所有格形式，包括名詞所有格（genitive case）和物主代詞（possessive pronouns）。例如在句子"The dog's collar is red"中，"dog's"即為名詞所有格形态。此類用法在語法規範手冊如《牛津現代英語語法》中有詳細說明。
該詞的詞源可追溯至15世紀拉丁語"possessivus"，經由古法語"possessif"進入英語詞彙系統。現代用法中的雙重含義分化始于18世紀語法體系規範化時期。
