artus

== Latin == === Etymology 1 === Inherited from Proto-Italic *artos, from Proto-Indo-European *h₂r̥-tó-s (“fitted”), from the root *h₂er- (“to join, fit (together)”). Cognates include Sanskrit ऋत (ṛtá, “order; right, etc.”) and Avestan 𐬀𐬴𐬀 (aṣ̌a, “truth”). ==== Alternative forms ==== arctus (erroneous) ==== Pronunciation ==== (Classical Latin) IPA(key): [ˈar.tʊs] (modern Italianate Ecclesiastical) IPA(key): [ˈar.tus] ==== Adjective ==== artus (feminine arta, neuter artum, comparative artior, superlative artissimus); first/second-declension adjective narrow, close, fitted, confined, dense (figuratively) severe, strict, scanty, brief ===== Declension ===== First/second-declension adjective. ===== Synonyms ===== (narrow): angustus ===== Derived terms ===== ===== Descendants ===== Italian: arto === Etymology 2 === Inherited from Proto-Italic *artus, from Proto-Indo-European *h₂r-tú-s (“that which is fit together; juncture, ordering”), from the root *h₂er- (“to join, fit (together)”) (and thus ultimately from the same root as the "close" sense of Etymology 1). Cognates include Sanskrit ऋतु (ṛtú, “right time, order, rule”), Ancient Greek ἀρτύς (artús, “arranging, arrangement”) and Old Armenian արդ (ard, “ornament, shape”).
