iuventa

== Latin == === Alternative forms === juventa === Etymology === Uncertain. The term could be compared with Gothic 𐌾𐌿𐌽𐌳𐌰𐌹 (jundai) and Sanskrit युवता (yuvatā, “youth, youthfulness”) and perhaps derive from Proto-Italic *juwentā, from Proto-Indo-European *h₂yuh₁n̥téh₂, itself from *h₂yéwHō. Otherwise, in Latin, the sequence -VṷV̆C- evolves into -VṷC- (Compare *prowidens > *proudens > prūdens). However, this issue could be resulved if this rule did not affect the sequence -ŭṷV̆C-. See also iuventūs and iuventās. === Pronunciation === (Classical Latin) IPA(key): [jʊˈwɛn.ta] (modern Italianate Ecclesiastical) IPA(key): [juˈvɛn.ta] === Noun === iuventa f (genitive iuventae); first declension youth, young manhood Synonyms: iuventūs, iuventās Antonym: senectūs ==== Declension ==== First-declension noun. ==== Related terms ==== iuvenis === References === “iuventa”, in Charlton T.
