reintegrans

== Latin == === Etymology === Present active participle of reintegrō, Mediaeval spelling of redintegrō (“to restore or renew”, “to refresh or revive”). === Pronunciation === (Classical Latin) IPA(key): [reˈɪn.tɛ.ɡrãːs] (modern Italianate Ecclesiastical) IPA(key): [reˈin.te.ɡrans] (Classical Latin) IPA(key): [re.ɪnˈtɛɡ.rãːs] (modern Italianate Ecclesiastical) IPA(key): [re.inˈtɛɡ.rans] (poetic) === Participle === reintegrāns (genitive reintegrantis); third-declension one-termination participle restoring renewing refreshing reviving ==== Usage notes ==== In ordinary Classical Latin pronunciation, when the cluster gr occurs intervocalically at a syllabic boundary (denoted in pronunciatory transcriptions by ⟨.⟩), both consonants are considered to belong to the latter syllable; if the former syllable contains only a short vowel (and not a long vowel or a diphthong), then it is a light syllable. Where the two syllables under consideration are a word's penult and antepenult, this has a bearing on stress, because a word whose penult is a heavy syllable is stressed on that syllable, whereas one whose penult is a light syllable is stressed on the antepenult instead. In poetic usage, where syllabic weight and stress are important for metrical reasons, writers sometimes regard the g in such a sequence as belonging to the former syllable; in this case, doing so alters the word's stress. For more words whose stress can be varied poetically, see their category. ==== Declension ==== Third-declension participle. 1When used purely as an adjective. ==== Descendants ==== English: reintegrant
