Iuppiter

== Latin == === Alternative forms === Iūpiter, Jūpiter, Juppiter Iovis ♃ (alchemy) === Etymology === The nominative Iuppiter, for Iūpiter (with shift of the length from vowel to consonant per the littera rule), comes from the vocative combined with pater, and essentially meant "father Jove"; from Proto-Italic *djous patēr, from *djous (“day, sky”) + *patēr (“father”), from Proto-Indo-European *dyḗws (literally “the bright one”), root nomen agentis from *dyew- (“to be bright, day sky”), and *ph₂tḗr (“father”). Cognate with Umbrian 𐌉𐌖𐌐𐌀𐌕𐌄𐌓 (iupater), and in other branches of Indo-European Sanskrit द्यौष्पितृ (dyáuṣ-pitṛ́), Ancient Greek Ζεῦ πάτερ (Zeû páter, “o father Zeus”). Equivalent to diēs (cf. Iovis) + pater. The oblique cases Iov-, Iovis continue the inflection of Proto-Indo-European *dyḗws. Cognates are Latin diēs (originating from the accusative case of *djous) and Ancient Greek Ζεύς (Zeús). === Pronunciation === (Classical Latin) IPA(key): [ˈjʊp.pɪ.tɛr] (modern Italianate Ecclesiastical) IPA(key): [ˈjup.pi.ter] === Proper noun === Iuppiter m (genitive Iovis); third declension (Roman mythology) Jupiter (god of the sky and ruler of the Roman pantheon) (astronomy) Jupiter (planet) Synonyms: Phaenōn, Phaëthōn (poetic) the sky (alchemy, chemistry) tin ==== Declension ==== Third-declension noun. ==== Derived terms ==== ==== Descendants ==== ==== See also ==== Diespiter Diovis === References === “Iuppiter”, in Charlton T.
