adorea

== Latin == === Alternative forms === adōria === Etymology === Disputed. The ancient Romans connected this word to ador (“emmer”) in the sense that in an archaic period a victor would receive an donation of emmer as a reward, or that someone who abounded of emmer or grain generally would be renowned for it (thus accounts Festus). While adōrea has often been cited to be a clipping of adōrea dōnātiō, Keller instead suggested corōna (“chaplet”) for the underlying noun. Walde-Hofmann however rejects this connexion and states adōria to be a derivation to adōrō (“to admire”), although there is no other example to be found where -ia derives from verbs. === Pronunciation === (Classical Latin) IPA(key): [aˈdoː.re.a] (modern Italianate Ecclesiastical) IPA(key): [aˈdɔː.re.a] === Noun === adōrea f (genitive adōreae); first declension glory Synonym: glōria ==== Declension ==== First-declension noun. === References === “adorea”, in Charlton T.
