Sometimes the idea of activity in a verb or adjective
involves in it a reference to an effect, in the way of causality, in
the active voice on the immediate objects, and in the passive voice
on the subject of such activity. This second object is called the
factitive object.

Fac"tive (?), a. Making; having
power to make. [Obs.] "You are . . . factive, not
destructive." Bacon.

||Fac"to (?), adv. [L., ablative of
factum deed, fact.] (Law) In fact; by the act or
fact.

De facto. (Law) See De
facto.

Fac"tor (?), n. [L. factor a
doer: cf. F. facteur a factor. See Fact.]
1. (Law) One who transacts business for
another; an agent; a substitute; especially, a mercantile agent who
buys and sells goods and transacts business for others in commission;
a commission merchant or consignee. He may be a home factor or a
foreign factor. He may buy and sell in his own name, and he is
intrusted with the possession and control of the goods; and in these
respects he differs from a broker.
