In view of the semantic shift illustrated in the cognates, famulus (“servant, slave”) (with Oscan 𐌚𐌀𐌌𐌄𐌋 (famel, “servile”)) is probably a backformation from it and not the other way around. From Proto-Indo-European *dʰh₁-m-eló-m (“fundament”), from *dʰeh₁- (“to do, put, place”). Cognate with Sanskrit धामन् (dhāman, “order; dwelling-place, temple; family”), Ancient Greek θεμέλιος (themélios, “of the foundation”), θέμις (thémis, “justice, law”). === Pronunciation === (Classical Latin) IPA(key): [faˈmɪ.li.a] (modern Italianate Ecclesiastical) IPA(key): [faˈmiː.li.a] === Noun === familia f (genitive familiae or familiās); first declension a household (all persons subject to the control of one man (whether relations, freedmen or slaves)) the slaves of a household, servants a group of slaves stationed in one place; a brigade, gang (used for some purpose) one's personal retinue a family, kin (a group of people closely related to one another) Synonym: domus an intellectual school (e.g., of philosophy) Synonym: domus (law) an estate (sometimes distinct from pecūnia and possibly restricted to rēs mancipī) ==== Usage notes ==== According to Richard Saller, “[f]amilia was never used to mean ‘father, mother and children’ in our sense of ‘family’ today. It did have a technical, legal usage akin to ‘family’, but in common parlance most often meant ‘slave staff’, exclusive of the master's family.... The usual word for ‘family’ in the classical period was domus, which carried the general sense of ‘household’ including domestic slaves.” ==== Declension ==== First-declension noun. The Old Latin genitive singular familiās is used in pater familiās and similar expressions with fīlius, māter, and fīlia as the first element. ==== Holonyms ==== gēns ==== Derived terms ==== ==== Related terms ==== ==== Descendants ==== Borrowings === References === “familia” on page 740 of the Oxford Latin Dictionary (2nd ed., 2012) De Vaan, Michiel (2008), “famulus”, in Etymological Dictionary of Latin and the other Italic Languages (Leiden Indo-European Etymological Dictionary Series; 7), Leiden, Boston: Brill, →ISBN, page 200 === Further reading === “familia”, in Charlton T.
