robus

== Latin == === Etymology 1 === Uncertain. According to Sihler, the term may be a borrowing from Umbrian, where—unlike Latin—the regular outcome of Proto-Italic *-ew- or *-ow- was ō. De Vaan suggests that the term ultimately derives from Proto-Italic *rouðos, though he suggests that the long ō is probably a dialectal feature. ==== Pronunciation ==== (Classical Latin) IPA(key): [ˈroː.bʊs] (modern Italianate Ecclesiastical) IPA(key): [ˈrɔː.bus] ==== Adjective ==== rōbus (feminine rōba, neuter rōbum); first/second-declension adjective (chiefly of cattle) red ===== Declension ===== First/second-declension adjective. ===== Derived terms ===== ==== Noun ==== rōbus m (genitive rōbī); second declension a kind of wheat ===== Declension ===== Second-declension noun. === Etymology 2 === ==== Noun ==== rōbus n (genitive rōboris); third declension (rare) alternative form of rōbur (“oak tree; hardness; strength”) ===== Declension ===== Third-declension noun (neuter, imparisyllabic non-i-stem). === References === “robus”, in Charlton T.
