epitogium

== Latin == === Alternative forms === epitogum (variant reading) === Etymology === From Ancient Greek ἐπί (epí, “on-”) +‎ toga +‎ -ium (“relative adjective suffix”). In several attestations it's unclear whether the medial i is present, but such a formation built directly on the root without a relative suffix would be unexpected. === Pronunciation === (Classical Latin) IPA(key): [ɛ.pɪˈtɔ.ɡi.ũː] (modern Italianate Ecclesiastical) IPA(key): [e.piˈtɔː.d͡ʒi.um] === Noun === epitogium n (genitive epitogiī or epitogī); second declension a piece of clothing worn over the toga (typically a cloak); outdoor clothing Synonyms: amictus, amiculum any piece of cloth covering Synonyms: strāgulum, strāmentum, (co)opertōrium, cooperimentum, cooperculum ==== Declension ==== Second-declension noun (neuter). 1Found in older Latin (until the Augustan Age). ==== Descendants ==== → French: épitoge === References === “epitog(i)um” in the Thesaurus Linguae Latinae (TLL Open Access), Berlin (formerly Leipzig): De Gruyter (formerly Teubner), 1900–present “epitogium”, in Charlton T.
