sexcuplus

== Latin == === Etymology 1 === From sex (“six”) +‎ -plus (“-fold”). The -cu- is probably by analogy with quīncuplus (“fivefold”) or decuplus (“tenfold”). Compare nōncuplus. ==== Alternative forms ==== sescuplus, sē̆cuplus, sexuplus, sextuplus ==== Pronunciation ==== (Classical Latin) IPA(key): [ˈsɛk.skʊ.pɫʊs], [sɛkˈskʊp.ɫʊs] (modern Italianate Ecclesiastical) IPA(key): [ˈsɛk.sku.plus], [sekˈskup.lus] ==== Adjective ==== sexcuplus (feminine sexcupla, neuter sexcuplum); first/second-declension adjective (Medieval Latin, New Latin) sixfold, six times as much ===== Declension ===== First/second-declension adjective. === Etymology 2 === Misspelling resulting from the confusion of -x- and -s- before a consonant that developed because [ks] was subject to simplification to [s] in this position. ==== Adjective ==== sexcuplus misspelling of sēscuplus === References === “sexcuplus”, in Gaffiot, Félix (1934), Dictionnaire illustré latin-français, Hachette.
