crinitus

== Latin == === Etymology === From crīnis (“hair”) +‎ -ītus (“-ed”), possibly originally formed by combining an instrumental singular case-form ending in *-ih₁ +‎ -tus. In form, the word can be interpreted as a participle of a fourth-conjugation verb crīniō (“to cover, as if with hair”); as this is rare and usually used only in the sense of foliage, the verb is probably a back-formation from the adjective. === Pronunciation === (Classical Latin) IPA(key): [kriːˈniː.tʊs] (modern Italianate Ecclesiastical) IPA(key): [kriˈniː.tus] === Adjective === crīnītus (feminine crīnīta, neuter crīnītum); first/second-declension adjective hairy long-haired ==== Declension ==== First/second-declension adjective. ==== Derived terms ==== crīnīta stēlla ==== Related terms ==== crīnio === References === === Further reading === “crinitus”, in Charlton T.
