Perhaps because there's no such word as "proctive." There, is,
however, a word "proactive," and we are fortunate to have books called
"dictionaries" that help with such things:
"Proactive" is, of course, the opposite of "propassive".
I'm glad I'm not alone in thinking that proactive is a silly
sociologists' word that we don't need.
