genitus

== Latin == === Etymology === Reflects a Proto-Indo-European *ǵenh₁-tos, which displaced the original *ǵn̥h₁-tós, whence Latin nātus, which came to belong to a different verb. In light of Proto-Italic *genatā, the change conceivably happened during the Italic period, though see there for possible counterarguments. === Pronunciation === (Classical Latin) IPA(key): [ˈɡɛ.nɪ.tʊs] (modern Italianate Ecclesiastical) IPA(key): [ˈd͡ʒɛː.ni.tus] === Participle === genitus (feminine genita, neuter genitum); first/second-declension participle perfect passive participle of gignō begotten engendered produced ==== Declension ==== First/second-declension adjective. ==== Derived terms ==== ==== Descendants ==== → Italian: -genito Old French: gent Occitan: gent Gascon: géncer (comparative forme of beròi from *genitiorem) === References === “genitus”, in Charlton T.
