amplus

== Latin == === Etymology === Disputed. Perhaps from Proto-Italic *amlos (“seizable”), from Proto-Indo-European *h₃emh₃-lo-s, from *h₃emh₃- (“to grab”), with etymological meaning "graspable". Related to ampla (“handle, grip”). Otherwise for ambiplus (“full on both sides”), composed of ambi- (“both”) and an element akin to plēnus (“full”) (and more distantly to plūs (“more”)). === Pronunciation === (Classical Latin) IPA(key): [ˈam.pɫʊs] (modern Italianate Ecclesiastical) IPA(key): [ˈam.plus] === Adjective === amplus (feminine ampla, neuter amplum, comparative amplior, superlative amplissimus, adverb amplē or ampliter); first/second-declension adjective large, spacious, roomy abundant, ample (figuratively, of force) impetuous, violent, strong magnificent, splendid, glorious esteemed, distinguished, well-regarded ==== Declension ==== First/second-declension adjective. ==== Derived terms ==== ==== Descendants ==== === References === Pokorny, Julius (1959), Indogermanisches etymologisches Wörterbuch [Indo-European Etymological Dictionary] (in German), Bern, München: Francke Verlag Sihler, Andrew L.
