Tom (et al.)

The New Oxford Dictionary of English has this example:

"[as adj. ~giving~] he was very giving and supportive"

It is under the sense 'bestow (love, affection, or other emotional
support)'.

This dictionary draws its examples from a corpus, so it is not made up, but
there is no date given.
