strictus

== Latin == === Etymology === Perfect passive participle of stringō (“to tighten, compress”). From Proto-Italic *strigtos, from Proto-Indo-European *strig-tó-s, from the root *streyg- (“to shear”). Stringō originated as a merger of a verb from a nasal-infixed *streyg- (“to strip, shear”) and another from *strengʰ- (“to twist, tie”). Even though the participle is formally derived from *streyg- (because of the lack of -n-), its meaning of “tightened, compressed” developed from the second root. === Pronunciation === (Classical Latin) IPA(key): [ˈstrɪk.tʊs] (modern Italianate Ecclesiastical) IPA(key): [ˈstrik.tus] === Participle === strictus (feminine stricta, neuter strictum, adverb strictim); first/second-declension participle tightened, compressed, having been tightened drawn (of a sword) ==== Declension ==== First/second-declension adjective. ==== Related terms ==== ==== Descendants ==== === References === === Further reading === “strictus”, in Charlton T.
