novus

== Latin == === Etymology === From Proto-Italic *nowos, from Proto-Indo-European *néwos. Cognates include Old English nīewe (English new), Ancient Greek νέος (néos), Proto-Slavic *novъ, and Sanskrit नव (náva). Proto-Italic *nowos fails to become Latin *nuus due to specific conditions in the development of Latin, namely -o-(w)- being in the first syllable, whereas *dē nowōd (“anew”) became dēnuō. === Pronunciation === (Classical Latin) IPA(key): [ˈnɔ.wʊs] (modern Italianate Ecclesiastical) IPA(key): [ˈnɔː.vus] === Adjective === novus (feminine nova, neuter novum, comparative novior, superlative novissimus, adverb novē or noviter); first/second-declension adjective new, novel Synonym: recēns Antonyms: prīscus, prīstinus, antīquus, vetus, senex fresh, young recent unusual, strange, extraordinary ==== Declension ==== First/second-declension adjective. ==== Derived terms ==== ==== Descendants ==== === References === “novus”, in Charlton T.
