Usage Note
Tassativamente derives from tassativo (exhaustive, binding) and is used in legal and administrative writing to indicate that a list or provision is exhaustive and admits no exceptions — closer to 'exclusively' than merely 'strictly'. It is a bureaucratic register word; everyday Italian uses assolutamente or rigorosamente instead.
Examples
"I casi previsti sono tassativamente elencati dalla legge."
Natural Translation
The foreseen cases are strictly listed by law.
