inoculus

== English == === Etymology === By misremembering a neuter Latin noun as being a masculine one. The same error happens with others as well (for example, with *diverticulus/diverticuli for diverticulum/diverticula); it is relevant in scientific contexts where English uses many learned borrowings from New Latin. === Pronunciation === (General American) IPA(key): /ɪˈnɒkjələs/ Homophone: inoculous === Noun === inoculus (plural inoculi) (biology, rare) Misconstruction of inoculum. ==== Related terms ====
