sanguis

== Latin == === Alternative forms === sanguen n sanguem n (Late Latin, nonstandard) === Etymology === From Proto-Italic *sangwens, from Proto-Indo-European *h₁sh₂-én-, the oblique stem of *h₁ésh₂r̥ (“blood”), whence also saniēs (“ichor; ulcer”) via suffixation. Old Latin assyr / aser / ascer (found in glosses only) likely reflects the nominative of the original paradigm. Later sanguĭs occurred as a regularization of sanguīs by analogy with the third-declension adjectival suffix -is. However, there is no consensus on whether the original nominative form was sanguīs m or sanguen n, but the development Proto-Italic *sangwens > Old Latin *sanguins > Classical Latin sanguīs seems most likely, since the expected Classical reflex of Old Latin **sanguens would be **sanguēs. Rather, sanguen can be explained as a later reshaping on the analogy of unguen, inguen etc. Cognate to Hittite 𒂊𒌍𒄯 (ēšḫar), Sanskrit असृज् (ásṛj), Ancient Greek ἔαρ (éar), Old Armenian արիւն (ariwn).
