grandis

== French == === Pronunciation === IPA(key): /ɡʁɑ̃.di/ Homophones: grandi, grandie, grandies, grandit, grandît === Verb === grandis inflection of grandir: first/second-person singular present indicative first/second-person singular past historic second-person singular imperative === Participle === grandis m pl masculine plural of grandi == Latin == === Etymology === From Proto-Italic *grandis, of unclear origin. Traditionally derived from Proto-Indo-European *gʰer- (“to rub, to grind”), and connected to Proto-Germanic *grautaz (“big in size, coarse, coarse grained”) (whence English great). A different etymology, favored by Pokorny, derives the word from Proto-Indo-European *gʷʰrendʰ- (“to swell”), and connects the word to Ancient Greek βρένθος (brénthos, “arrogance”) and Proto-Slavic *grǫ̑dь (“breast”). However, De Vaan rejects the latter (and doesn't mention the former) due to phonetic difficulties and the wide semantic gap between "breast-pride" and "breast-large". Compare also Prasuni gëndër, Waigali grāna. === Pronunciation === (Classical Latin) IPA(key): [ˈɡran.dɪs] (modern Italianate Ecclesiastical) IPA(key): [ˈɡran.dis] === Adjective === grandis (neuter grande, comparative grandior, superlative grandissimus, adverb grande or granditer); third-declension two-termination adjective full-grown, grown up large, great, grand, lofty, big Synonym: magnus Antonym: parvus powerful aged, old ==== Declension ==== Third-declension two-termination adjective, with locative. ==== Derived terms ==== ==== Descendants ==== === References === “grandis”, in Charlton T.
