secuplus

التعريفات والمعاني

== Latin == === Etymology === Sense 1 ultimately from sēmi- (“half”) and sēsqui- (“one and a half”): perhaps compare the sē̆- of sē̆lībra (“half-pound”), sēmodius (“half-pack”). Sense 2 ultimately from sex (“six”): perhaps compare the sē- of sēdecim, sēnus, sēmēnstris, sēvir, although the development of -ex- to -ē- was only phonetically regular before a voiced consonant. It is possible that some cases are simply misspellings by omission of a letter. === Adjective === sē̆cuplus (feminine sē̆cupla, neuter sē̆cuplum); first/second-declension adjective (Late Latin, Medieval Latin) alternative form of sēscuplus (“one and a half times as much”) (Late Latin, Medieval Latin) alternative form of sexcuplus (“six times as much”) ==== Declension ==== First/second-declension adjective. === References === "hemiolium", in Charles du Fresne du Cange, Glossarium Mediæ et Infimæ Latinitatis (augmented edition with additions by D. P. Carpenterius, Adelungius and others, edited by Léopold Favre, 1883–1887)
