affective, effective
The primary meaning of affective is "emotional," "caused by or expressing feeling and sentiment": "Many scenes in Dickens's novels are affective." Effective has several meanings, the primary one being "producing the intended or expected results": "The supervisor suggested effective steps to handle the work load." The contrast in meaning can be illustrated thus: "The affective death scene of Little Nell Trent in Dickens's The Old Curiosity Shop is dramatically effective."
