the opposite word of dominant [closed]
-2
There is an opposite word of dominant in sexuality and otherwise which has the starting letters 'mas..........' but I'm not able to recall the word, can somebody help ? I just remember it being too long and not able to pronounce it properly.
While I have no sentence in my mind, I can describe an experience which lot of people probably have. It's like the one work that your boss, co-worker, girl-friend, wife, husband gives you that you absolutely abhore. You would only do it when you are feeling extremly guilty about something or in mood for some self-punishment. I hope I was able to describe the word I'm looking for.

I don't have enough rep for my-1to count but I downvoted because you're not actually looking for the opposite of dominant but the opposite of sadistic.

The word you're looking for is "masochistic". It's really the opposite of "sadistic" not "dominant", but it's close.

@Duckisaduckisaduck nowhere in that document does it say a reference to an authoritative source is required, nor is that document even the rules of the site; only a description of how to write a good answer. In this case, there is no authoritative source to refernce; OP was asking for help remembering a specific word which started with "mas…" and roughly meant "… dominant in sexuality and otherwise… ". The only authoritative source is OP's memory.

The question itself is problematic in that is shows no evidence of research and thus sets a precedent for answers that follow suit, you could read: english.stackexchange.com/help/how-to-ask Supposing the requirements there are followed, the issue that I raised of answers such as yours should never arise.
